Trailer Tail Light Needed for Trailer with Separate Turn Signals and Stop/Tail Lights
Question:
I have a 28 ft. enclosed car trailer and i want to replace my old tail lights . My trailer has two of the 6 in. oval lights on each side of it .So do i need to buy two lights with turn signals and two lights that are just stop and tail lights ? Thanks

I have attached a link to all of our oval trailer lights for you. Most 6 inch oval lights are actually 6-1/2 inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your trailer lights to make sure you choose a replacement light with the same dimensions as your tail lights. We do not have oval tail lights that are exactly 6 inches long, but you could enlarge the cutouts on your trailer to accommodate the standard 6-1/2 inch lights.
Our oval trailer lights are available with red, amber and clear lenses, so you can use them for the turn signals, brake lights and tail lights. Since most trailers operate on combined wiring system, meaning the turn signals and brake lights run on the same circuit, most of our red lens trailer lights were designed to work for stop lights, turn signals and tail lights.
For your trailer, you can use any of our 3-function tail lights for your stop lights and tail lights and our amber lens lights for the turn signals. The amber counterpart to the Optronics LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light, # STL572RB, that you referenced is part # STL572AB. If you need new grommets, then you can use part # A70GB, and if you need new wiring pigtails, you can use part # A47PB.
