I found that the travel trailer OEM tail lights were blocked by the cargo carrier. I installed these light as an extension of the OEM tail light. These lights enhanced the OEM lights. Now I worry a bit less about the vehicles behind me.

Nicely done Optronics and eTrailer. Solid and simple snazzy, I need all the snazzy I can get. Great value.

This is my second pair that I have purchased and both sets 1@1year ago the other more like 5 years ago are still like new and going strong. Let’s all say durable! And yes I would recommend to family and friends and random strangers alike. Let’s see here, reviews like “Stars”, 5 stars x 2 sets = 10 Stars, can I do that?

Great purchase experience. 11-LED Optronics Trailer Light STL79RB was delivered as promised and fits perfectly. Recommend this item and will return for my future lighting needs.

Update: Have trailered my boat 3-4 times per month in the last year and these lights are still burning bright! Great, reliable product.



by:

Brake light has rubs and scratches on both bottom and top sides.
Disappointed in packaging, a thin clear plastic sheath inside a thin plastic mailing envelope. No protection at all during shipping.

Item was delivered in good condition packing was proper. Item was as described and fit properly.

@John We're glad you had the information you needed!

The LED taillights worked out great with my trailer rebuild. They will be protected at all times because I was able to have them tucked out of harms way. They are not low where backing up would endanger them and not protruding from the sides to be in the way either.

But they are still highly visible at all times from the side or rear. THANKS for a great product!

The tail lights were a great finishing touch to the rebuild of my utility trailer. The taillights are so visible and stay out of the way. They dont have those tender filaments in the old bulbs that a bouncing trailers play havoc with. Not to mention rusty bulb sockets that made the bulbs dimmer!



by:

The clear LED tailight strips that came with my trailer started filling with moisture and were only partially working. Most trailer part places only had the 15" lights. You were the only ones I found with the 17" lights and a diagram showing the mounting hole centers and dimensions. The product pictures were great for checking the wiring. Quick shipping and the tracking link was great. A few simple tools & some butt connectors and I was done. Finished the job with clear caulking around the lights.I like the red strip over the clear stock one and the lights are easy to see even in full sun.

Worked great, I used them on the sides of my headache rack.

I installed this light as a third brake light at the top of my camper. LEDs, no maintenance, works great. A big improvement in safety. Order service was prompt and accurate. Good job.



by:

Looked at several lights on amazon. Flat on the back makes for a difficult connection. Found these on etrailer and worked great. Their is a good space behind the light to deal with the ground and wires. Excellent buy! Very happy with purchase. Shipping was fast and great follow up on purchase. Will buy again!



by:

I like a lot of folks did my research, I have a specific requirement for this cargo carrier, I need it to hold a dock box made by lifetime. And this carrier works perfectly. It was very easy to assemble. And very sturdy. I enclosed a picture of the dock box installed. I had to do some modifications to the dock box, but it worked out beautifully. I highly recommend this cargo carrier for the price quality and value.



by:

I used this as a brake light and it has handled offroad abuse and has continued to work without any segments burning out. It was wired to provide the brightest output.



by:

These were to replace some on the back of my motorhome that I installed about 4 years ago. They corroded with Michigan’s winters and salted roads but looked so good I replaced them with fresh ones.



by:

I really like them for my teardrop trailer we are building. It was an excellent choice. Thank you



by:

Replaced the crappy original stick-out basic lights with these LED ones under the lip of the deck. Fit great, work great. Good product, as expected from etrailer.



by:

Rebuilt my boat trailer, have had them underwater several times and working
Perfect. Great easy product!



by:

Beautifully designed, looks like two light bar, very bright and effective. I recommend this product.



by:

The led lights were very easy to install and they look great. Thanks



by:

We installed two lights on a ramp for the rear of our car. They were so simple to install and they are very bright. Great product!



by:

Wanted to change my back lights on my toyhauler so bought these and they look and work great



by:

Easy to hook up and work perfect very b right.



by:

Paid for 2 day shipping. It ended up taking about as long as normal ground shipping. This was my first purchase through etrailer. I will stick to RealTruck going forward



by:

Not real happy at this point. Spent most of the day filing down the back, ( center) of the light for mounting on a flat surface. Both rails on the back of the light created a bow when screwed onto a flat surface. If I would have just attached it to the flat surface, it would have put the circuit board in a bind and I didn't think that would be a good idea knowing the beating they would take if mounted them like that on the back of my flatbed trailer. With one end screwed down, the other end was approximately 1/8 of an inch raised above the mounting rail. If mounted like that, they would not have lasted 3 weeks before cracking the circuit board. as received, the small rails on the back did not provide a flat surface for mounting. But they did when I got done filing them. If anybody is going to screw an object 17" long onto a flat surface, ( unless it is made out of rubber) it better be flat also. On top of that, the wires could stand to be a bit longer.

lights working great. I could not have made a better decision on what and who in order to obtain my desired results.



by:

ordered for use on trailer with rear ramp that when closed (verticle) stands approx. 6'. Lights on the trailer are low to ground approx. 1'- 18". My concern was visibility of trailer brakes. Your item was flat backed long and narrow ideal for mounting at top part of trailer ramp mentioned earlier. Much more visible approx 5' high and of course led lights, much brighter. Feel more secure towing with addition of your item. Easy to install, quality, and price reasonable.

Same opinion as right after installed, still pleased!

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights

  • Trailer Brake Lights Stopped Working After Adding Additional LED Trailer Lights
    The brake lights on the trailer draw more power than the running lights or turn signals so the problem could be that the extra lights are creating too much draw on the system which is not allowing them to work. You may need to use a powered converter that draws power for the trailer lights directly from the tow vehicle battery instead of through the vehicle wiring system. There are several available depending on the year, make, and model of your vehicle. There could also be a ground problem....

  • Is There a Difference Between Tail Lights With Clear Lenses and Red Lenses
    There is not an advantage to having tail lights that have a clear lens over a tail light that has a red lens, both will function well and provide bright enough tail light functions. It is a cosmetic preference, some people prefer the look of one over the other, so they are both available. You will need to check with your local laws and regulations concerning trailer tail lights, in some areas it may be illegal to use tail lights with clear lenses such as the Optronics Trailer Light # STL89RCB.

  • Troubleshooting Tail Light Issues on New Grand Design Trailer
    Since you tested the tow vehicle's connector and know it's working properly, we can at least focus all our attention on the trailer side. It sounds like you've already done this, but it certainly sounds like there's some kind of ground issue on the Grand Design that's causing the dim lights, and now the issue on the left side tail light. Check once more to make sure all your ground connections, both the main harness ground for the 7-Way and each individual ground for the light assemblies...

  • Can 3 Function LED Light STL79RB Be Used for Stop, Turn, and Tail Lights on Both Sides of Trailer
    Yes, the # STL79RB 3-function LED would work for stop, turn signal, and tail light functions on your trailer if you installed one on each side. If you look at the back of the light, you will see three wires, as pictured. To install the lights, the white wire, equipped with a ring terminal, will be connected to a clean metal surface on the trailer frame, the black wire will be connected to the tail light circuit, and the red wire will connected to the brake and turn signal circuit. ...

  • Replacement Tail Light For A 2016 Lance Travel Trailer
    We do offer a light that looks very similar # STL211XRFHB. This may not be a direct replacement but it is a very similar LED trailer light. The light itself measures overall 7-1/2" wide x 3-1/4" tall x 3/4" deep. The light face is 6-1/2" x 2-1/4". It uses a 4 wire connection. If you are able to measure the current light, we can definitely narrow down a replacement.

  • When Installing Optronics Streamline Stop/Turn Light # STL79RB Which Blinker Circuit Should be Used
    Ideally you use two of the Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Lights # STL79RB. One for each side of the trailer. They can be installed right next to each other. Like this you'd be able to use the appropriate blinker circuit for the side of the trailer that way they will act as a turn signal and brake light and will flash and illuminate as needed.

  • Is the Sealed Optronics Light part # STL79RB Sealed or Exposed on the Back
    The back of the Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL79RB that you referenced is sealed. I pulled one from our warehouse to confirm this. The picture is a little misleading as it looks as if its exposed on the back side, but if you look closely you can see that there is a clear seal that protects the circuit board. You can tell its there by the reflection of the light on it.

  • Using Streamline LED Trailer Lamp # STL80RB
    The lamp you referred to, part # STL80RB is intended for use as a third brake lamp, but it could be used as a single function lamp only. It is not meant to operate as a multiple function lamp. This would explain why the lamp is not doing what you are wanting. The # STL79RB is designed as a 3 function lamp, stop, turn and tail light. If you wanted to use one of the # STL79RB lamps on either side and the # STL80RB you referenced only as a center-mounted stop light, you can do so, but you...

  • Adding a Third Brake Light to a Small Camper Trailer
    You could use light # STL79RB as a third brake light. Normally it is not recommended to mix LED lights at incandescent lights because the lights don't have voltage/amperage regulators and an incandescent light could draw too much power through an LED and burn it out. But it would work fine in this case because in order to have a third brake light you would have to separate out the combined turn signal/brake light circuits to get a dedicated brake light only function for a third brake...

    The Optronics Streamline LED Trailer Light is designed to be used with a 3 wire system, not a 4 wire. It has 3 wire leads, one for ground, one for tail light and one for a combined brake/turn signal. You can use this, you will just need a converter to bring the system down from a 4 wire to a 3 wire.

    Since your trailer wiring will have the stop and turn signal circuits combined onto one wire you'll need a converter to isolate out the stop circuit for adding an additional brake light.

    The brake light and stoplight function of the Optronics Streamline LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL79RB will both work at same time without overriding each other.

  • How Does the Optronics Trailer Light # STL79RB Wire to Trailer Wiring
    The wiring of the Optronics Trailer Light # STL79RB that you listed are: The white wire, with the mounting eye, is a ground wire that needs to be connected to the white wire of your trailer wiring. The black wire would be connected to your running lights and is the lower intensity illumination. This should be run to the brown wire of your trailer wiring as this is usually the tail light circuit. The red will be wired to the brake/turn wire and is for the higher intensity illumination....

  • Looking for 24 Inch Long 1 Inch Tall LED Tail/Turn/Stop Light
    The longest tail/turn/stop led light bar that we have that is similar to the Optronics # STL2RB that you referenced is the Optronics # STL79RB, which is 17 inches long and 1 inch wide. This unit is sealed so it is waterproof and contains 11 LEDs. Past the 17 inch point, you get into 48 inch running lights that go on the tailgate of a truck. I have attached a brief video demonstrating the 17 inch bar.

  • How to Wire Up a Powered Winch Mounted at Rear of Truck
    I attached a help article that details exactly what is required for wiring up a winch, but for your setup you would want to go with a wiring kit like part # BDW20043. This will run wires up directly to the battery. LED lights draw a very small amount, so you could power them pretty easily off of the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way which is in the 1:00 pin position.

I would be unable to speak to its legality and would highly encourage you to take a look at your local laws but I can't see why it would be an issue.

  • Can a Horse Trailer be Converted to Run Off 12 Volt DC Power and 110 Volt AC Power
    The biggest hurdle to overcome is having the trailer lights run off of 12 volt DC and 110 AC power. On a trailer that was not set up for this from the factory that means you would have to have a transfer switch installed and the associated wiring and electrical devices for it to be functional. In a nutshell retrofitting a trailer with a transfer switch is a task best left to professionals who work on trailers and RVs. The easy way to get AC power on the trailer is to use a power inverter...
