Very excellent replacement for older lights. Little bit of a long story, but it might help someone. I have an 04 Excursion that has always worked with my horse trailer lights, so I had no need to check them. Enter my 2022 F-150, and all the sudden my brake and turn signal trailer lights are doing weird and inconsistent things. Since they worked with the excursion, I figured the over engineered brains of the tow module in the F150 had to be the problem. When they didn’t work with a neighbors in between truck, I pulled the lights off the trailer and found they had no ground and were wired to the running and brake/turn wires instead.

I ordered two of these for a fit test before I bought all 4. I wish I would have just ordered all 4 because I am now very anxiously awaiting my second set. The halo running light is just such a cool look, and the turn/brake light is very bright. Much stronger than the old metal light casings I’m replacing even with led bulbs in them. I am a little worried about the casing being plastic on these, but they shouldn’t be exposed to abuse to flex it any, so it should be fine. Time will tell. I love that they are sealed watertight too. My old ones were not.



by:

It's a must have when you use the Optronics trailer lights!! Works great! Don't know why it don't come with the light set up but that's OK, love the light!

I have been dealing with e trailer for a long time and always get quality and quick shipping.

Great pigtail and easy to wire up.

Pigtail is holding strong and working great!



by:

Great product! My right brake/turn signal stopped working on my trailer, so I purchased a new ST70RB 6-1/2" oval trailer light, along with the wiring plug and grommet, installed them in about 30 min, and it works great! The package arrived quickly and was packed nicely. I found out my fuse was blown on my 2016 Traverse for the right trailer stop/turn signal, but that was most likely from the old light which I think was leaking. I didn't know there was a fuse just for that so I learned something new. I will definitely purchase trailer products again from etrailer.com!



by: 08/12/2023

Wiring is NOT conventional..
None of
the harness wires matched up to the flat 4 wiring.
Red was yellow green was brown etc.
And wiring or color ceding was included with the 7 pin harness



by:

My boat is garage kept when not in use however, after 29 years it was time to replace the trailering wiring with a new wishbone harness. Very easy to do and no more issues with lights not working. Good product at a reasonable price.



by:

With the trailer lights you really need this PIG TAIL. You can make it work, but this is so much easier and is water proof.
Picture is back side of the panel where the PIG TAIL is sticking threw. This will get coated with under coating when it all done.

by:

Thanks for getting me the replacement part quickly.



by:

Excellent service, Fast shipping



by:

Exactly what I needed. Delivery was on time and communications from eTrailer were excellent



by:

fits and works perfect



by:

The lights and 3 wire pigtail were excellent, but the rubber mounting grommet would not fit the opening. Had to use original grommet.



by:

Not sure I like all this new prong connection stuff but these worked well with the new lights. Nice solid connections.

After a year, still no issues.



by:

I really like the bright back up lights. It does take a little extra work for the back up lights. - Sorry this pic doesn't show the backup/stop lights but this is the great little chuckwagon we put them on.



by:

It is the right plug for what I needed it to be, I'm exited to finally recive the product and pretty fast shipping as well! Thank you



by:

Simple pigtail wires, look decent.



by:

LED lights are the way to go. The reflective marker lights are great for times when the lights aren't on yet headlights will reflect off them letting the driver know there is something there. The only thing would be better on these lights would be a better ground.

Russ T.

Working well. One of the marker lights has a hard time keeping grounded.



by:

I ordered more parts (lights for my motorcycle trailer) than really needed but now I have plenty of spares. These parts were exactly what I needed and were very reasonably priced. The shipping was quick and the order was filled correctly.

Great Job !!!

My trailer is still working great. Thanks.



by:

Pretty simple to get on etrailer. Try finding this socketed connector anywhere else without having to buy the entire enclosure. This is just one of about 24 items I have purchased from etrailer.com and even when i screw up they get me right.
They seem like very nice folks who care that you get what you need.

Never better, I have another trailer to rewire and etrailer is where I am going.



by:

I ordered the STL101RB Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - LED to replace the standard tail lights on my Yamah Drive G19 golf cart. They replaced to stock ones perfectly as a neat way to add a backup lights for a custom feature. The backups led are actuated by the reverse switch on the dash.

It should be noted that the ground terminal on the two wire pigtail connection is not wired internally to the backup LEDs. They rely on the ground supplied by the three wire pigtail. Not a big deal, but worth noting. It throws a curve when bench testing.

These lamps add a nice custom touch!



by:

Arrived in record time, heavy duty copper wire as advertised and quality connectors. Would definitely buy again as needed and recommend to others.

Still working flawlessly....dependable.....



by:

Used with Optronics Turn/Tail/Stop LED assembly: Not really much to say about a plug except that this one does what it should and has had no comebacks to spoil the project. Perfect pin alignment with firm pin fit to light assembly. Molded rubber plug body fits snugly into light housing but is easy to grasp and remove when necessary - a good balance of 'in forever' but 'removable if you need to'. No evidence of hardening, cracking, or deterioration of plug body.



by:

pins are loose fit, and move around when and attempt is made to insert them. had to make numerous attempts at getting the pins in just the right position to make them mate to the socket.

quality plug and wire insulation. Once installed, they seem tight and secure with good electrical contact.

Professor L.

I have installed several of these. They were ALWAYS a very snug fit, and sometimes slightly misaligned, which made them a little difficult to install the first time. I NEVER had one with loose pins. Loose pins? First time for everything, I guess!

Patrick B.

10/22/2012

Thanks for the comment! Sometimes there can be some wiggle room on the contacts, but typically on the light side. As long as the connections are good and solid, everything will function properly.


by:

I replaced the conventional lamps in my 1990 Peterbilt Midranger box truck. The change out was easy. The previous lamps were troublesome because of vibration, moisture / road salt, causing them to not light. I used these pigtails to plug into the LED lamps I purchased from eTrailer, to easily install the new lamps, splicing into the existing wiring harness in the truck. The thing to know, is the unique color coding: White is Ground, and has a convenient lug on it to attach under one of the mounting screws. Red is for the stop/turn signal, and Black is for tail lights.

  • Flush Mount Stop Turn and Tail Lights for a 1982 13 Foot Scamp Travel Trailer
    I did a bit of research on your trailer and the reflect-o-lite light that you mentioned. It looks as if they are surface mount lights that are 6-7/8 inch diameter. For a replacement you could use the 7 inch round Transit LED Stop/Side Marker/Tail Light, # STL90RB, to have a somewhat original appearance, with an upgraded LED light. You could also use a surface mount like the I recommend the Dual LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Turn, Tail, Backup - Red and Clear Lens # CE86FR by Command electronics,...

  • Are there Replacement Tail Lights for a 1982 Scamp Trailer
    In order to determine which replacement lights will fit your 1982 Scamp trailer, you will need to find the manufacturer and model number of the light assembly. This could involve removal of the assembly. If you see numbers on the lens, those are not the correct numbers. If you cannot find any manufacturer/model number information, you will need to measure the diameter of your existing tail lights and any other dimension that you can. You will also need to determine how they mount to the...

  • Solution for Installing Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light on Trailer With Round 3-Prong Light Plug
    The Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL43RB is only available with this plug style. We do not carry the GROTE brand or have any lights like this that match the round plug. However, a simple solution would be to cut off your existing plug and use the # A47PB or # A45PB.

  • Black Rubber Grommet for 4 inch Round Trailer Lights A45GB Mounts in a 4-1/2 inch Diameter Hole
    The Black Rubber Grommet for 4 inch Round Trailer Lights, part # A45GB, mounts in a 4 1/2 inch diameter hole. This grommet will work with the Sealed 4 inch Round LED Trailer Light, part # STL23RB, and should work with your fiberglass application. The light, grommet, part # A45GB,wiring, part # A45PB, and wiring, part # A47PB, are all sold separately.

  • Tow Dolly LED Brake Lights Blow Stop Light Fuse on RV But All Other Lights Work Fine
    There could be a short somewhere inside one of the lights causing the problem. There certainly is not enough power draw from LED lights to blow a stop light fuse on a vehicle so it would have to be a short somewhere. If everything works fine with a trailer connected and all of the other tow dolly lights work as they should then all signs point to an internal problem with the lights. My recommendation is to replace the lights and inspect the wiring (just to be safe) and fix any broken or...

    I was able to find images of your Calico horse trailer's Kaper-brand oval tail lights.

This Optronics oval light measures 6-1/2 x 2-1/4 x 1-1/8-inches deep. It mounts using their grommet # a70gb and connects using a standard 3-pring plug like # A45PB.

  • LED Replacement for WESBAR 203561 Light
    Yes, the Optronics Trailer Light, # STL70RB, will replace the Wesbar 203561 to upgrade to LED lights. You will want to check the factory grommet when you remove the light, if the factory grommet is in good condition you can use it with the LED upgrade. If the factory grommet is worn or shows any signs of damage, now is the time to replace it. You would use the Optronics Rubber Grommet, # A70GB. Same thing on the 3-prong plug connector, check it also to make sure it is in good condition....

  • Center Marker Light on Boat Trailer is Not Lighting Up
    If you are using light # STL22RB check the back of it to see the functions of each of the connectors. You would use a harness like # A45PB to plug into the back. The white wire is ground, black is running lights, and red would be brake light/turn signal which would not be used for your application. A diode isn't needed. I think the issue is a bad ground connection which is more common on boat trailers with aluminum frames. Routing the ground wire to the main trailer connector ground...

  • Replacement Optronics 5-1/2 Inch Diameter Round LED Trailer Light
    I think the part number you have on your trailer is part # STL42RB. The other numbers may be a serial number or another number for a mold or something else. The best way to see if our light is the exact replacement is to check the specs and the mounting of the # STL42RB. The light has 10 LEDs and uses a 3-prong plug like part # A47PB for the right angle plug or part # A45PB for the straight plug. The dimensions of this light are 5-1/2 inch diameter and 1-15/16 inches deep. The mounting...
