    Trailer Reverse Light

    Any recommendations on a fully submersible LED that I can mount on my trailer for backup lights. Some of the ramps I launch are ridiculously dark being there is no light within hundreds of yards. Just wanting something that comes on when tied to reverse lights on truck.

    Also, if your truck has tinted windows, roll down the front ones to give you a better view in your side mirrors.

    I installed this light from Amazon in 2016. Still going strong:

    Take any of the Amazon LED lights and then remove the plastic lens, take that to a glass place and have them cut to size, and when you install it back together silicone the cover. It will literally last many years, been using mine for at least 7. If you dont replace the plastic lens it will discolor and they will always leak. I wired mine straight to the back up lights and they fully submerge every time.

    Optronics brand submersible white LED lights, hook them up with your blue trailer wire

    Thank you for this recommendation. I've been looking to add b/u lights to my trailer for awhile and these actually say they are "submersible", not "waterproof". There is a difference. Added to cart
