Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Lights


  • Trailer Tail Light Needed for Trailer with Separate Turn Signals and Stop/Tail Lights
  • I have attached a link to all of our oval trailer lights for you. Most 6 inch oval lights are actually 6-1/2 inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your trailer lights to make sure you choose a replacement light with the same dimensions as your tail lights. We do not have oval tail lights that are exactly 6 inches long, but you could enlarge the cutouts on your trailer to accommodate the standard 6-1/2 inch lights. Our oval trailer lights are available with red, amber...

  • Replacement Tail Light Needed for a Kara Trailer Hauling a 2004 Boston Whaler 150 Sport
  • I could not find any information on a trailer light with part # 6554-tw, however, I did some research on your trailer and other trailers for the Boston Whaler 150 Sport and it looks like they use the rectangular submersible trailer lights like the Wesbar Low Profile Trailer Light, # 403026, that you referenced. This is the left side light, for the right side light, you will want part # 403076. To determine if these lights will work with your existing light brackets without drilling new...

  • Tail Light Wiring Converter to Join European Motorcycle and U.S. Trailer Wiring Formats
  • As you noted, trailers made for the U.S. use a combined wiring scheme for their lighting. Stop and turn signals for each side of the trailer are combined into one circuit and one wire. European wiring is different; it has all separate circuits. This is why there are no simple adapters that can join the two wiring standards and why converters are needed. Since your German-made Rewaco trike would be wired to the European standard you will need a converter to make it compatible with your...

  • Will My 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie With LED Lights Be Able To Tow My Trailer With Incandescent Lights
  • When towing with your 2021 Ram 1500 and your trailer has incandescent lights, The LED lights require less power then the incandescent lights. With that being said I would switch out to The Combination LED Trailer Tail Light # STL8RB and The Combination LED Trailer Tail Light # STL9RB. These LED lights will make great replacements for incandescent lights. They last 50 times longer and are more efficient and provide better light with less power output. The lights have a waterproof construction...

  • Parts Needed to Completely Re-Wire 20-Foot Cattle Trailer with Light and Reflectors
  • The cost to re-wire your 20-foot cattle trailer depends on the type and number of lights you choose to install. How many lights you legally need depends on the width of the trailer. A good place to start your project is the linked article on trailer lighting. This explains the lighting requirements based on the trailer's length, width and weight. We offer basic light kits like # TL29BK that are a cost-effective all-in-one option. If your 20-foot trailer is less than 80-inches wide you...

  • Are Clearance Lights Needed on a Snowmobile Trailer
  • To equip your snowmobile trailer with a basic lighting setup, you would need amber front side marker lights and red rear side marker lights. A basic trailer would require a minimum of two each, with the front lights as far forward as possible and the rear lights as far back as possible. The # TLK36RK trailer light kit includes the required amber front marker lights , but you could also add matching red clearance lights # A91RB with chrome bases # A91CB. I would also recommend using...

  • Rear Clearance Light Requirements for Trailers Over 80 Inches Wide
  • The trailer light kit, # TL36RK, only comes with 2 marker/clearance lights in addition to the wiring and tail lights. Trailer light kit # TL16RK comes with 2 additional reflectors, not lights, that you could place as needed. I was looking through the federal requirements for lights and reflectors for various types and size trailers and found that AMBER clearance or marker lights are not a requirement for the center rear of the vehicle but RED clearance lights are required. Exactly 3...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2007 Jeep Wrangler Towing Utility Trailer with LED Lights
  • All of the 4-pole flat trailer wiring harnesses we offer for your 2007 Jeep Wrangler (shown on the link at right) do not have built-in converters; they pull the power for the trailer's lights directly from the Jeep's taillight wiring. On a 4-pole vehicle connector the stop and turn signals are already combined; the yellow wire carries left turn and stop signals and the green wire carries right turn and stop signals. The brown wire carries running light signals for both sides of the trailer. It...

  • Availability of Replacement Submersible Tail Lights for a 2003 Ranger Trailer
  • To get the correct replacement submersible tail lights for your 2003 Ranger trailer I would need the part number off the lights on your trailer now or the shape (round, rectangle, oval, and square) and dimensions of the lights you have. The part number I would need would be on the light itself not the part number that is on the lens. I am including a picture that will show the dimensions that are needed to match up the correct lights for your trailer. The Optronics Submersible Trailer...

  • How Does The Light Guard # LG440NP Mount Onto A Trailer
  • The Light Guard # LG440NP mounts by using the mounting post on the light, or by welding onto your trailer frame, since your trailer is made from wood you can only mount it by using the mounting post of the light. The Light Guard is made for the Peterson Square Lights # 432400 (left hand) and # 432200 (right hand). These lights come with the wiring for the side marking lighting. I attached a review video link below.

  • Replacement Rear Tail Lights For A Z21 Boat Trailer
  • Without knowing what brand of light you have and the dimensions of the current light you have on your Z21 boat trailer I would not be able to find you an identical light. I would recommend replacing both taillights. The Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights # TLL160RK are designed to serve 7 functions on your trailer: Stop, tail, turn, side marker, side reflex, rear clearance, and rear reflex. The lights are submersible. These lights have a durable surface-mount technology construction...

  • How to Power Interior Trailer Lights on a Trailer Not Powered by a Tow Vehicle
  • First, you need to make sure that the lights you will be using are compatible with a 12 volt system because that is what a battery will produce. Since the trailer will not be connected to a tow vehicle for power, you can wire in the lights independently from a trailer connector. What you will need to do is mount the lights and route the wiring to a switch, like # BL0108-00 if you want them to come on at the same time. You will need to make sure to ground the lights to the trailer frame....

  • Lighting Requirements for Boat Trailers for Updating to Submersible LED Lights

We also recommend always disconnecting the trailer connector before backing the boat into the water, even if you have submersible lights. On the linked page you can view all submersible LED type grommet-mount lights that we offer. Usually a combination stop/turn/tail light like # STL111RB is employed. I also included a link to a helpful article on the lighting requirements...

  • Reverse Light, Battery Charger Recommendations for Utility Trailer
  • To add two reverse lights, one on each side of the rear of the utility trailer, I recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, # BUL72CB. You will also need a rubber grommet, # a70gb, for each light, and a pigtail, # A45CB, for each light. To mount the lights, you can use Mounting Bracket # BK70BB. You would then need to wire the lights to come on with the tow vehicle reverse lights. You would need to convert the tow vehicle and trailer from 4-Way to...

  • Parts Needed to Install VueSmart Backup Camera and 3rd Brake Light To Scamp 16 Travel Trailer
  • You can fit the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL32RBB to the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR. The Optronics light has a black base to match the base of the VueSMART camera. Since you are wanting to use the light as a 3rd brake light rather than a running light you will need a 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 to separate the brake light signal from the turn signals on your Scamp 16 trailer. This will require you to run wiring from both tail...
