Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
Surface-Mount Light
Surface-mount lights install flat against the surface of the trailer, so a hole does not need to be cut into the trailer for the light. This type of light is installed using a flange or bracket that has mounting holes. And mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Nice design and quality material make this replacement tail/brake light an easy upgrade. Best part is changing over to LED lighting..using less battery juice and eliminating incandescent bulb failure…Txs
by: Jimbo 04/17/2024
This product was a perfect replacement for OEM. Installation was simple. Ordering process and delivery by eTrailer was spot on. I will definitely continue to utilize eTrailer for my future trailer repair and upgrade projects.

After figuring out what wires were what on my trailer and the lights everything works as it should.
by: Brooke07/24/2022
Very nice product. Installation on my very old utility trailer was easy. I like the slim design compared with my old chunky incandescent lights which were easy to break and not as bright as these LEDs.
by: Doug 02/12/2024
Easy install looks great on my trailer without needing to cut the oblong holes for the light. Only need to drill a small hole for the wires and the mounting screws.

Great product and OEM replacement on my Sundowner 777 gooseneck horse trailer
by: Ken 03/11/2024
After a year of use they still work great, and all the bulbs are still lighting up.
by: Kathryn10/13/2021
The 10-diode tail lights were well made, bright, and easy to install. We also ordered and installed the matching reflector rings, which were also easy to install, look great, and give added safety features.

Was exactly what I needed: Surface mount, holes exactly 7 inches apart for the sides. Needed it for a replacement on our 2018 Grand Design 399TH Momentum.

Great value, good communication and fast shipping. Highly recommend trailer!

Perfectly replaced the factory ones on my skeeter trailer.
by: Wayne03/24/2021
After one of the the incandescent trilights the factory installed on my trailer burnt out I discovered they where sealed and the bulbs could not be replaced,
So I purchased two of these and discovered they are ery nice lights and unlike incandescent lights they don't screw up the turn signal flash rate.
I am now in the process of rebuilding a trailer mounted generator and just ordered 2 more of them for that trailer and I also bought LED marker lights from the same manufacturer.
If you need new or replacement taillights or marker lights LED's are the way to go, long lasting, nice and bright and in my opinion they way they instantly light up get more attention from drivers behind me possibly reducing the chances of getting my trailer rear ended by a inattentive driver.
by: Jim 08/30/2023
Super easy to install. Took me about 30 minutes to do both lights. Good & bright. Much better than the factory installed tail lights. Very pleased!
by: Don M.09/23/2012
Now that I'm finishing up on my Teardrop Trailer I've got these lights installed, along with a LED tag holder, and LED marker lights. I had also bought the fenders from etrailer they look great, and I get a lot of comments how good all these parts look. Oh and the prices are better then any place I could find.......Thanks etrailer
by: Dave D05/30/2017
I bought one of theses lights last year to replace one that had some of the LED's going out. Same manufacturer and same part number. The new light uses a different type of LED (square LED). The old style used an LED that looks more like a small bulb. I have 4 of these on the back of my 5th wheel trailer. The other three started going bad so I just replaced them as well. I have other LED lights inside the trailer that use the same type of LED as the new tail lights. I've had those lights for 6 years with no problems. . I suspect these new lights will last much longer with the new type of LED.
by: BH01/29/2017
Wired them in and they light up, blink, and do everything else they're supposed to do. Let me also mention that they are BRIGHT at night. Loading the boat onto the trailer at dusk/after dark they're almost blinding when the pickup driver steps on the brakes. Lol
by: Brian06/17/2019
Good product. Horizontal bolt hole spacing is the same as a license plate so it conveniently mounts anywhere a license plate would. The LEDs are bright enough as auxiliary running/turn/brake lights and the wiring is simple. The mounting flange is not very strong plastic so you have to be careful not to crank down on the mounting bolts. There is no hardware included and no gasket for the backside, which is a bummer. Otherwise, a very nice product.
by: Dennis in FL05/02/2023
These are worth the price, look good and are very bright. I've had a few of the center LEDs go out but 10/10 would order again.
by: Sean05/23/2018
I had a hitch carrier in the garage and wanted to add brake lights/turn signals. Since there were no mounting locations for lights, I needed a surface mount option. These fit the bill. They work great and were easy to wire with the harness I bought.
by: AYRW03/06/2024
still working!
by: Kathy 03/23/2024
fit like a glove!!! thank you!
by: RAM12/12/2017
Worked great as a replacement for OEM that was no longer available for RV. I also replaced the back side marker lights so the front and back matched.
Pat C did a great job in completing my order with substitution for out of stock resistor.
by: Jack06/10/2018
Quality product well made and designed,
Reasonably priced. Best suited for my application. Also purchased the red reflector snap ring that covers the mounting flange and screws.
by: Steve 02/22/2024
Fast delivery and packaged with care. Thank you! Will definitely be ordering again.

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- Recommended Optronics Tail Light With 3-Prong Plug AttachedI do have options for you. We have the Optronics # STL78RPG, which is essentially the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB with a 3 prong attached. We also have the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL178RFPB. This light is identical in size to the light you mentioned, and will come with the 3 prong plug attached. The only difference is that the # STL178RFPB is a 22 diode instead of a 10 diode, so it will be a brighter light.
view full answer... - Does Optronics LED Trailer Light Use Reflector RingThe GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL178RB will not work with the Snap-on Reflector Ring for STL78RB Series LED Lights # A78RXB as it will not fit the light. If you wanted to use that reflector ring you would need the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB. This is similar to the GloLight but has a lip around the edge that allows it to accept the Reflector Ring. You can use these lights for your trailer as long as they have the side marker lights. I have added a link to a help...
view full answer... - Could the # STL78AB and the STL78RB Be Used as Clearance LightsYou can use the # STL78AB and the # STL78RB as clearance lights. The white wire of the light will get grounded and then you will run the black wire of the light to the running light circuit of your trailer. The red wire wouldn't be used.
view full answer... - Adding Additional Taillights to 6 by 10 Utility TrailerI don't have a wiring diagram specifically suited to what you're wanting to do, but I can certainly explain how to wire the additional lights. If you're wanting to add the # STL78RB lamps, the red wire taps into the turn signal/brake circuit, the black wire connects to the running lamp circuit and the white wire grounds to the trailer frame. You may tap into the existing trailer taillight circuits. Since these are LED taillights, the additional voltage draw will be minimal. For your existing...
view full answer... - Availability of Multifunction LED Trailer Taillights for Use on a MotorcycleThe MCL19RB and MCL19CRB are clearance light so they have only one function. For more than one function, stop, turn, brake, you will need to look at taillights. I have included a link to the oval, LED taillights below. One that is very similar to the lights you referenced is the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, Flange Mount, 10 Super Diode, # STL78RB.
view full answer... - Oval Trailer Light for Use on the Back of a 2016 Ford F-250If you want the light to plug into a 4-Way flat connector on your 2016 Ford F-250 then I do not recommend # STL211RB because it has a reverse light function and the reverse light circuit is not carried in the 4-Way. I recommend flange mount light # STL78RB which does have stop, tail, and turn signal functions. Keep in mind that trailer lights only have 1 input for turn signals so if you were to wire in that corresponding wire to the green and yellow wires on a trailer side 4-Way then the...
view full answer... - Dimensions From the Mounting Faceplate to Backside of the Lighting Unit on the Optronics Tail LightI went to our warehouse to get the Optronics oval LED tail light # STL78RB to provide the measurement you requested. From the backside of mounting plate to back of the lighting unit is flush. You will be able to mount it without any modifications other than a hole big enough for the wires to pass through. I made a short video for you to view. I also included a video review of the Optronics LED tail light too.
view full answer... - Can I Use Optronics Trailer Light # STL22RB On My Coleman CamperFor the exact size replacement light for your camper trailer you will need to measure your lights. The Optronics Trailer Light # STL22RB, measures 6-1/2 inches long and is 2-5/16 inches wide. If your light is a different size or you do not have the right mounting hole, you can use Optronics Trailer Light, part # STL78RB, which is a flange mount light which does not require a mounting hole. To wire in the lights, you will need 3-Wire Pigtail, part # A45PB. The grommet that you will need...
view full answer... - How To Wire Taillights To Motorcycle Carrier Behind TrailerIt sounds like you have the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL78RB or something similar and in which case, the red is actually for the stop/turn circuit so that will need to be attached to the yellow/green wires on your RV. The black wire is for the running light circuit and will need to be attached to the most likely brown wire. That said, whenever a circuit cuts off when another is applied that is almost always a ground or overdraw issue. The grounds will each need to be secured...
view full answer... - 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Functions & Wiring Installation for Optronics Oval LED Trailer Light STL78RBIn standard 4-pole trailer wiring there are actually three active lighting circuits plus a ground. The tail light (or running light) function is carried on the (usually brown) wire that is next to the ground pin. Please refer to the linked photo of a trailer-side 4-pole connector that shows these circuit/function assignments. The next pin over, the one for the yellow wire, typically carries the LEFT stop and turn light functions which are combined onto this one wire; and the RIGHT stop...

- Adding LED Trailer Light Bar to Cargo Trailer TroubleshootingIf the lights have voltage ran to them from the running lights all you'd need to get them to turn on would be a ground wire. It shouldn't matter that the old lights are incandescent and the new are LED. But you might test to make sure that the circuit is active with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. If the lights are a ramp the issue could pretty easily be that you are trying to ground them to the metal of the ramp and the connection to the frame of the trailer isn't solid enough....

view full answer... - Components Needed to Build a Trailer From Scratch with the Timbren Axle-Less SystemI would be happy to help you put together the components you need to build your own trailer and do my best to keep the weight down. You are off to a good start with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange item # ASR1200S04. These weigh around 50 lbs. However, the brakes you linked item # 23-48 are for 7" hubs and we do not have any that will fit the Timbren systems so you will need to go up to 10" hubs and drums. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and...
view full answer... - Right Turn Signal Does Not Work When Tailights Are ActiveI suspect you have a ground problem as that is the main cause of most lightning problems but there could also be a blown fuse or shorted out wire so you will need to work your way through the steps below. I would first check the trailer towing fuses on the vehicle to make sure none are blown. Once this is done I would then move onto checking the grounds. When I say check grounds, I do not mean merely looking at them but rather remove the bolt/screw, sanding down the surface and then re-attaching....
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Taillight for Peterson Manufacturing 420CR-5I looked up pictures of the Peterson Manufacturing 420CR-5 Oval LED Tail Light and the closest matching light we have is the part # STL78RB that is 6-1/2 inches in length.
view full answer... - Trailer Tail Light Options for a Tear Drop TrailerThe Aero Pro Submersible LED Trailer Tail Light, # STL36RB, is a surface mount light. To mount this light you would need to have 2 or 3 bolts sticking out from the surface of the trailer because this light has slots on the back that fit over the bolt head and hold it in place. Is does not come with mounting hardware and a special bracket is not needed. The license plate light is made to shine down through the bottom. I would go with a flush mount light like # STL34RB. These lights will...
view full answer... - Is the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light item # STL78RB DOT Approved?Since the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light item # STL78RB is red it can be used as a third brake light. This light is DOT approved and can also be used as a rear turn signal. To use it only as a third brake light you will want to wire the black tail light wire and the red stop/turn light wire to one circuit. The white wire is ground. If you are needing to add a turn signal on the side of your trailer you will want to use an amber light like the item # STL78AB. I have linked a review video...
view full answer...
- Can Clearance Lights be Installed on Side of Trailer as Additional Turn SignalsThe DOT rules are typically that if the turn signal is facing the side of the trailer it needs to be amber in color like the part # STL78AB and then if facing the rear it can be amber or red like part # STL78RB. However, if the light also carries the stop light circuit it would have to be red. You would need to check with your local DOT to confirm this, but in the meantime I attached a help article on trailer lighting options as well. To do what you are looking to do would require you...
view full answer... - Recommended LED Trailer Light Under 3.25 Inches TallThe lights we offer that are closest to the size you mentioned that we carry is part # STL78RB. These lights measure 7-9/16 long when you also include the mounting flange, x 3-5/16 inches wide, x 3/4 inch deep. This light has 10 LEDs and is a waterproof assembly. The mounting holes for this light are spaced 7 inches center-to-center, and 2-3/4 inches for the width. This light has 3 wires, red for the brake and turn signal, black for the tail light, and white is for ground.
view full answer... - Trailer Tail Light Replacement Recommendation for TecNiq 16P2S2T2T60I believe the tail lights you have are the TecNiq T60 lights which are industry standard 6" oval recessed lights. To replace those you can use the Optronics Fleet LED Trailer Tail Lights # TLL12RK. If your lights look different than this please send in a picture with some dimensions so I can help you find the correct replacements.

- Trailer Turn Signal Not Working with Running Lights on a 1993 Palomino Pop-Up Camper TrailerOn trailers, the brake light and turn signals are on the same circuit and use the same bulb or LEDs. When you are braking and have the turn signal on, the turn signal should override the brake light on that side. The running lights should be independent of all of this. It sounds like there is a bad ground somewhere. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make...
view full answer... - Can LED Brake and Turn Signal Lights Replace Incandescent Lights on an Old TrailerYes, you can use LED light in place of incandescent lights for brake and turn indicators on your trailer however, you will want to replace them all for continuity sake. Although both LED and incandescent lights work off of 12 volts, the incandescent lights pull more amperage and may burn the LED lights out prematurely if you mix LED and incandescent lights. I have attached a brief video review of the Optronics Oval LED Light # STL78RB that you referenced.
view full answer... - Replacement Fender for Shorelander Boat Trailer SRV1724Thanks for the information regarding your boat trailer, I was able to look up the tire size of your trailer in order to determine an appropriate replacement fender. I found that the trailer tire specified for your trailer was listed as a ST185/80R13. Therefore the trailer wheel is a 13 inch wheel with an approximate overall diameter of 24.4 inches. If your trailer tire is not this size please feel free to reply with an updated tire size and I can make additional recommendations for you....

Then for your connector use the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness # 002402 with the Hopkins Adapter # 47345 so it is compatible with the 7-Way on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML550. The wiring configuration for the Wesbar wishbone is as follows: White - ground wire Yellow - left turn/brake light Green - right turn/brake light Brown - tail lights For extra wiring use the Bonded 4...
