Trailer kit with 2 stud-mount, submersible tail lights; corrosion-resistant license-plate bracket; 2 amber side marker and clearance lights; 25' wiring harness with 4-pole connector; mounting hardwareReally cheap.
These lights are marketed as submersible, but based on what's in the package I'm really dubious.
The lens bodies are not sealed. As you can see My photo, each lens body has a clearance hole for the wire - No gasket, and plenty of room around the wire, So water will definitely flood in and submerge the contacts and bulb/socket If you put these on a boat trailer.
Additionally, to Make the wire connections. They give you wire nuts. For submersible wire connections, at the very least, you should use crimp butts wrapped in tape - or better yet a heat shrink crimp butt. But they give you wire nuts, which aren't even really stable against vibration, let alone moisture.
It does say 3-year warranty on the package, however, so I guess I'll be testing that out.
Put these on an old boat trailer. Came out great. I got some white 16 gage stranded wire to carry the ground out to each mounting place. Helps the lights stay on even when stuff gets rusty.
Rewired my 8x4 bed trailer, and chose these fo mo betta rain proof. EZ wiring, they're working fine!

Ok, had an issue with the bulb socket for brake and turn signal. Those socket designs date back to the stone age. Hard to set the bulb for proper electrical contact. Badly needs an updated design.
This is an excellent product and simple to install. As long as you have a functioning plug-in on your vehicle you’ll be happy.
Time will tell how well it holds up to water and vibration

I’ve since pulled my boat to the lake with the trailer that I installed this lighting harness on. I unplug the lights before I back down the boat ramp to assure I don’t short out the system. Other than that I am still satisfied and would recommend these to anyone. Simple to install
The light kit works great now; however, after much sweat & experimenting. Initially, I couldn’t get any of the lights to work, then I sanded away the paint where the lights attached to get good grounds from each light bolt/screw. At that point, 1 light worked perfect while the rest remained very dim. After changing wires & tow vehicles to verify it wasn’t something wrong with that connection, I found an etrailer post about running separate ground wires from each light directly to the ground connection coming from the tow vehicle. After another run to Lowe’s & several more feet of wire - it worked. Finally!! I don’t deal with this stuff regularly so this was like looking for an electric needle in a haystack. During this process, I called etrailer & they were good enough to get ready to send me a replacement light set, thinking this one was defective. Fortunately, I didn’t need it.
This is a pretty standard trailer light package. The price was good and the equipment works great. I would recommend this product. It comes with electrical clips that are garbage though so I would recommend doing something different for you connection health. Overall, I have saved it for the next time my tire explodes going down the road and takes out my lights just for added injury to my night. (lol)
It is good product and I would recommend it completely.
So far these have held up well. Been a year
Easy to install, did mine in a storage unit with minimal tools and no lights. Great product.
Price was less than the local stores and shipping was fast. The lights look well made but I haven't had a chance to install them yet.
Easy installation, works the way it sho uld.
Thanks ETrailer for making my boat trailer restoration a success . I restored a 1960 boat trailer to look brand new with your help.
for the price you cant go wrong with th em
The quality of these are better than the factory lights that came on the trailer originally. They're even brighter even though they use the same kind of bulbs as the original factory lights. The price was reasonable too.
The lighting system performed well in traveling from NY to northern Michigan and return to carry an old boat back for restoration.
Work great and good price
I had to replace the lights on my utility trailer. The Kit came complete with easy to follow directions. Everything matched up perfectly almost plug and play. It took about 3 hours to remove the old lights and install the new ones. The only extra thing I had to purchase was extra white ground wire. The length that came with the kit was a little short. All other wire was more than ample length. That is why it got 4 stars other than that minor thing it would have gotten 5 stars. I am not a big user but the people at e-trailer are professionals with great follow up. This is the 2nd time that I used them and I do not hesitate to recommend the company and people.

They are holding up fine and I would recommend them to anyone
I was looking for something cost efficient and good quality and I found it. I put the lights on a 62 Willys pick up I'm renovating. Work perfectly !
Great kit! Includes front marker lights, splice connectors, wire support clips. Just about everything. The only things missing would be red splice connectors for tying in the taillights. Just a suggestion, it would be great if the ground wire was a little longer, and a bigger eyelet for the ground.
Have not yet installed the lights but the system is complete well built.
So overall I would recommend these! The product seems a little bit like "you get what you pay for." They don't seem to be of the highest quality but for the price, getting submersible trailer lights that are down and dirty and work, they seem great.
They are on my 4X8 utility trailer and they were easy to wire and install. They do come with wire nuts to make the wire connections and I replaced them with inline waterproof wire connectors but the wire nuts would have worked just fine. Again, overall, the kit had everything you would need to make these lights work.

Thank you for your review. It sounds like you have a classic ground issue. These particular lights ground through the mounting studs so make sure they are attached to a clean bare metal surface.
Ordered this light kit from etrailer and paid a little more than buying a generic set from [online retailer] thinking, like other products I have purchased here, the lights would be a better quality. Instead they arrived with very light wire, appears to be 18 gauge and average quality "submersible" lights. The cheaper lights on [online retailer] came with 16 gauge wire and looked at least if not more waterproof.

I confirmed with Optronics that the pigtail wires on the lights in this kit have 20 gauge wire. These lights are designed to be submersible and feature a drain hole on the bottom too allow any water to escape, they are not waterproof.
EZ to install.
