    Led trailer lights

    Anyone have any suggestions for submersible trailer lights? There are too many to choose from and most do not have great reviews. Thanks

    I’ve put Optronics on my last two trailers and haven’t had any issues.

    Optronics is what was recommended to me by BBC members so that's what I bought and installed. Very bright and not a problem in 5 years.

    Got mine for $10 each at Harbor Freight and put them on my Ranger 482VS trailer. Thieves stole my Optronics ones at Rayburn. So I'm sitting there with no tail lights at all at dark. Friggin thieves, WTH. Had the Harbor ones installed for 2 years now. So far with no problems at all. I carry an extra set just for that reason. More than likely they are made by the same place in China anyway. You might as well save some bucks or buy these as an extra set for if and when someone steals yours. Just saying...

    The link I posted has back up/reverse lights that work great... Nice addition if you dont have any now or wanted to add some w/o ugly brackets, cutting or drilling.

    I had these for over 7 years without issue. Now I don't know if they are the exact same brand bc HF does change vendors once in a while. I also opened them up and smeared silicone around the edges just in case.

    I tried the HF LED tail lights, but they crapped out within 2 years. I replaced them with Optronics and they have been going strong for 4 years now.

    I had 3" round discontinued Ranger trailer lights and bought Optronics LED lights. Excellent lights and also lifetime guaranteed. I know they will replace them free of charge because I had a running light that went out on the back of my trailer, and all I had to do was send them a pic of the light and they replaced it free of charge including shipping. Well worth the investment in my opinion.
