How Does the Trailer Light Kit, # TL16RK Mount to the Trailer
Question:
How does this mount? Does it come with mounting hardware. Can it mount it under or to a 3x3x1/4 angle iron? The angle iron is a step and mounting it under it can protect it, but how would I mount it to/under the angle? Or, might you suggest a better light system for this type of application, please.

The Trailer Light Kit, # TL16RK, does include mounting hardware. Each taillight mounts using two bolts, flat washers, and nuts. The head of the bolt slides into the back of the light housing, which is then secured to the trailer using the nuts. To mount the lights to the angle iron, you would have to drill holes through the angle iron for the bolts to fit through.
All of the available light kits will need to be bolted on in this manner. There may be some variations but ultimately the end method is the same.
