Trailer Reverse Lights That Do Not Require A Hole For Recessed Mounting

Question

Question:

Do you have any trailer backup white led lights with a bracket? I’ve searched multiple areas on the website and most just look like they either fit an existing hole or one has to be cut into the trailer to mount. I’m looking for one two install with like 2 bolts drillered through the trailer

For white led backup lights with a bracket, you can use the Trailer Light Mounting Bracket # BK70BB with a PVC Grommet # a70gb and the 6-1/2" backup light of your choosing. I recommend the Light Guide LED Truck/Trailer Light # BUL602CRB. These lights both act as a backup light as well as a provide an additional tail light to ensure that the you are clearly seen. You will need a 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PB to connect the light to the wiring on your trailer.

We also have either the Hot-Line LED Utility Light Bar # 328-003-6017W or Optronics LED Backup Light # BUL90CB that are designed to be flush mounted to the trailer but both will require a hole for the wiring to pass through behind the light.
