Recommendation for LED Waterproof Corrosion Resistant Rescue Boat Trailer Lights
Question:
Want LED rectangular tail lights, 2 amber side LED markers and LED marker light to mount on top of each guidepost of our rescue boat trailer. Trailer tongue to tail is 15'8" (188 inches). Width 89-1/2". Guide posts 2" schedule 40 PVC and tapers out almost 2.5 inches though.

Since your rescue boat trailer is 188 inches (15 feet 8-inches) tongue to tail and 89-1/2 inches (7-1/2 feet) width I recommend the following:
I recommend Optronics right side LED trailer light # STL26RB and left side LED trailer light # STL27RB. They are waterproof and corrosion resistant and will mount to all surfaces. These work great with trailers over 80 inches wide. The left side has a built-in license plate light.
The rear clearance and side marker red LED lights # MCL13R2B are a popular option. You will need 4. They are weather tight sealed.
The front side amber LED clearance and marker lights # MCL13A2B will be a great compliment to the rear lights. In addition, they are weather tight sealed.
The LED light kit # CE27656A will fit over the top of your 2-inch diameter guide posts.
I also recommend a Deka heat shrink butt connector # DW05743-5 because it's insulated with heat-shrinkable nylon for adjustability and durability.
I have included an FAQ link as well as video installations for you as well.
