Really 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.

generally happy with product but it was missing a nut for attaching light to trailer.
by: Steve08/16/2021
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
by: Refugio04/30/2024
It is good product and I would recommend it completely.
by: Tom07/24/2023
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)

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.

The lighting system performed well in traveling from NY to northern Michigan and return to carry an old boat back for restoration.

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
by: Joel k03/05/2017
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 !
by: Jacob 11/25/2023
Work great and good price
by: Steven 03/10/2023
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.
by: Edward 05/06/2023
Have not yet installed the lights but the system is complete well built.
by: Richard09/24/2018
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.

- Replacement Light Kit Recommendation for a 1994 Ranger Boat TrailerIf your boat trailer is under 80" wide I recommend the Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TL5RK but if it is over 80" wide I recommend the Optronics Trailer Light Kit for Trailers Over 80" Wide # TL16RK instead. I'm not sure what all came on your 1994 Ranger boat trailer but these light kits are a good starting point. If there are additional reflectors or lights you're needing to replace please shoot me some photos of everything you need replaced and I'd...
view full answer... - Clearance Lights in Trailer Wiring Kit # TL5RK Do Not Light Up on a 1983 Southwind RVIf the wiring leading to the clearance lights in the trailer light kit, # TL5RK, have power but the lights do not light up, there could be a couple of problems. First, you are going to want to check the ground connection. These lights ground through a mounting stud. Make sure that they are attached to a bare metal surface that is not painted and that there is no dirt or corrosion. If the issue is not a bad ground, you can check the lights off of the trailer by attaching them to a battery,...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Light Kit for 4x8 Kayak TrailerThe trailer light kit I recommend for your 4x8 trailer is the Optronics Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TL5RK. This is an incandescent light kit. If you prefer LED lights then the LED Combination Tail Light Kit for Trailers under 80" Wide - Submersible - Driver and Passenger # TLL56RK is the route to go. Even though you don't plan on submerging the trailer in water, the option is there and the sealed light housings are more durable.
view full answer... - Will Optronics Trailer Taillight Kit part # TL5RK Wiring Last Longer Than Two YearsThat is really unusual for the wiring to basically just destroy itself within two years, but sorry to hear that. The kits we offer like the Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit # TL5RK that you referenced would not have this issue and would work really great long term. We have sold more of these kits than we can count and have not ever heard of that issue.
view full answer... - Square Trailer Tail Lights Compatibility with Metal Light Guard for 440 Style LightsThe Optronics Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TL5RK will work seamlessly with the Light Guard - Unpainted Steel for 440 Tail Light # LG440NP you referenced. This guard is specifically made for these style lights so the dimensions will fit them just like the pictures on the product page. I've also attached a photo of the similar LED lights # TLL9RK in the same size for reference.

- What Does 80 Inch Trailer Mean On Optronics Submersible, Under 80 Inches Trailer Light Kit # TL5RKThe 80 inches means the width of the trailer. Trailers that are over 80 inches wide are required to have two side marker lights, one on each side. The Optronics Submersible, Under 80 Inches Trailer Light Kit with 25 Foot Wiring Harness, part # TL5RK, is designed for trailers under 80 inches wide. The 25 foot length of wire that comes in the kit should work fine with your 20 foot long boat trailer. If you are needing a longer 4-way wiring harness I have the Optronics 35 ft. Wishbone 4-Way...
view full answer... - Running Light Fuse Blowing with Trailer Connecter to 2003 GMC Sierra and Tail Light Kit # TL5RKIt sounds like there is a short that is causing an overload situation that is in turn causing the fuse to blow. The problem could be in a number of places, but I would start by checking the grounds on the trailer and on the truck. The ground for the trailer side plug should be attached to a clean, corrosion and paint free bare metal surface on the trailer frame. The lights ground through the mounting studs. They, too should be free of corrosion, dirt, and attached to a bare metal surface. If...
view full answer... - Availability Of Trailer Tail Lights With Built In License Plate BracketThere are quite a few tail lights for trailers that include a license plate bracket depending on the size of light you are looking for. The LED Combination Tail Light Kit # TLL56RK uses two 6" long x 3-1/2" wide LED Lights and includes the license plate bracket, and wiring to complete the installation. There is also a 5" long x 4-1/2" wide version # TL5RK, 8" long x 3" wide # TLL16RK, and 8-11/16" long x 3-13/16" wide set that uses # 328-003-81LBM1 and # 328-003-81BM1. If you can tell...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Replace Trailer Wiring and Lighting on a 1997 Coleman Sea PineTo completely rewire your cargo trailer, I would recommend picking up a trailer light kit like the Standard Light Kit, # TL5RK, or # TLL9RK for LED lights. These kits include all necessary wiring and hardware needed to install the lights on your trailer. The LED light kit does not include clearance lights. To add clearance lights, I would recommend using # MCL31AB. The best option would be the LED lights because they only use a fraction of the power that the incandescent lights use....
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Lights Will Not Work and Blow Vehicle Stop Light Fuse when Trailer Is ConnectedIt sounds like there is a short circuit somewhere that is causing an overload condition which is blowing the fuse and/or not allowing the lights to work properly. To locate a short on the trailer you will start by making sure the trailer connector is clean and free of corrosion inside and out. Then make sure the main ground wire is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. Do the same for each light. Then you will need to examine the wiring from the connector back to...
view full answer... - Replacement Tail Light Lenses For Trailer Light Kit # TL5RKYes, we do have replacement lens for the tail lights in the Trailer Light Kit # TL5RK. The Replacement Red Lens # 440-15R will replace the lens on the tail lights.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Lighting for Kayak Trailer with Additional Post Style LightsThe Easy-Hitch Light-Up, Telescoping Hitch Aligner # JE00600 is a great option for aligning hitches and giving you a visual guide, but you cannot use them while driving. The magnets are simply not strong enough for travel and could become a road hazard. For the post style lighting you desire, I recommend the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights for Boat Trailers # CE27740. For your trailer wiring, you can use the Submersible Light Kit # TL5RK or the LED Kit # TLL9RK. Either...
view full answer... - Newly Installed Trailer Tail Lights Work but Are Very DimDim trailer lights can be a symptom of a bad ground or wiring harness connection. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. If there is anything between a light ground and the metal trailer frame or if the trailer has an aluminum frame, tilt...
view full answer... - Wiring Harness Diagram and Installation InstructionsYour wiring should be pretty straight forward. The provided video link will walk you right through the installation. One of your lights will have a clear plastic lens on the bottom which will be used with the license plate bracket on the left side (drivers side) of the trailer. This will be hooked up with the wiring, including the yellow and brown wire. On the right side, you will use the green and brown wires to install that light. Your side marker lights will be hooked up with the brown...
view full answer... - Taillight Recommendation for a Flatbed Truck Built on a Chevy SilveradoI think the part # STL68RB would be perfect for your flatbed truck (looks good by the way). The dimensions of the this oval light are 10 inches long and 3 inches tall. They do stop/turn/tail/reverse light functions as well so you would be totally set. I attached a review video for this light for you to check out as well. You might also be interested in the stainless steel trim piece part # A68SSB.

- Recommendation For LED Camper and Flatbed Tail Lights for a 2010 Ford RangerI would recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 10 Super Diode, item # STL72RB, for both the truck bed and the trailer. To mount these lights you will need a Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, item # BK70BB, and a Rubber Grommet, item # A70GB. To wire the lights you will need either the straight Pigtail, item # A45PB, or a the right angle Pigtail, item # A47PB. I have used these lights on a car hauler and they work excellent...
view full answer... - How do Tail Lights in Submersible Trailer Tail Light Kit Secure to TrailerThe Submersible, Under 80" Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TL5RK has mounting studs, nuts included, that are 2 inches on center for mounting to a metal mounting bracket. The bracket must be attached securely to the trailer frame because the lights in this kit get their ground connection through the mounting studs. I have included an installation video and a video review of this light kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Wiring Replacement Trailer Side 5-Pole Wishbone HarnessIf your flat wishbone trailer connector has those 6 wires in total, then it is probably a 5-pole wishbone harness like # A40W5B (since you also count the ground pin). The feature that makes it a wishbone type is the two dual-color running light wires, the yellow-brown and the green-brown wires, which both connect to the same pin for running lights. This pin is the one next to the ground pin as shown in the linked photo. The two wires merely simplify connection to the lights on the two...

- How to the Lights in Trailer Light Kit TL5RK Ground to the TrailerThe lights included with light kit # TL5RK ground through the mounting studs. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. If there is anything between a light ground and the metal trailer frame or if the trailer has an aluminum frame, tilt bed, or folding tongue, any of these things can interrupt the ground. Running jumper wires from the light grounds to the main trailer connector ground can help. It does sound like a weak ground connection....
view full answer... - Recommended LED Trailer Light Kit for a 6 x 12 Utility TrailerThe Trailer Light Kit part # TL5RK is an excellent option for a 6 x 12 Utility Trailer and it comes with everything that you need; both tail light assemblies, the trailer wiring harness, two side marker, a plate holder, and wire connectors/hardware. It has LEDs which are both brighter and last longer than standard incandescent bulbs.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Left Taillight Goes Out on Boat Trailer when I Step on BrakeIf you have a bad or weak ground connection this can cause the problem you are seeing. When you apply the brakes, and the headlights are on, the ground connection needs to be good because when more amperage is drawn on the system, it requires a better ground to work properly. If you clean your ground connection points and make sure the taillights are grounded sufficiently, and the lights are still not functioning properly, you will need to check your connections and be sure you have the...
