LED Replacement Light Recommendation For Bargman 68 Round 4-1/2 Inch Trailer Lights

Question

Question:

I have an older trailer with four of the round 4 1/2 dia bargam 68 tail light fixtures. The fixtures were new back in 1989, now after of years of use the light sockets have split open and wont hold the bulbs in. So I am looking for a direct replacement LED fixture. I measured the holes in the rear bumper and they are 4.500 inches. I am trying not to modify the trailer to except any other units. What do you think that I need?

We have four different round LED stop, turn and tail lights that will fit in the 4-1/2 inch diameter holes in your rear bumper. You could use the Optronics light, # STL23RB, # STL43RB, # STL53RCB or # STL23CCRB. These are 4 inch round lights, but they require a rubber grommet, # A45GB, that allows 4 inch round lights to flush mount in a 4-1/2 inch cutout.

Lights # STL43RB and # STL53RCB are sealed, submersible lights if you are adding these lights to a boat trailer. All of these lights accept the industry standard 3-prong plug like part # A47PB. You will not need to modify your trailer to add these lights.

Hey Jeremy, Typically with boat trailers the manufacturer will install hydraulic surge brakes because you don't have to worry about the water damaging wires like you would with electric brakes. That being said, if you use a heat shrink butt…

The P-15 model information you provided for your Dexter axle does indicate its model, but you will still need to note its length and capacity before locating the correct replacement. If you are able to find a longer serial number somewhere on the…
