Magnetic Battery Powered Lights to Be Mounted on a Trailer

Published 02/09/2017

Question:

Hi I was wondering if you have trailer lights that are self-powered. Maybe something that can be strapped onto my trailer or if they have a strong magnet so I can just stick them on there. But Im needing some that I can just put some batteries in. The reason being is Im over trying to figure out whats wrong with my running lights on my vehicle. The trailer lights work when I hook it up to another vehicle and Ive tested everything so I know its my vehicle that has the problem. Iv checked fuses relays and everything but I just cant figure it out. I dont want to keep spending money trying to fix the problem. Since I dont use my trailer that much especially at night time I thought it would be convenient just to have some lights I could stick on there that were self-powered and stayed on while driving at night.

We do have some magnetic lights that operate on batteries. They're technically emergency lights but they have a constant shine setting. Of course they will not operate as brake or turn signals which I cannot recommend you tow your trailer without. A few examples:

# HF18R-HD
# HF18R-MB
# HF18A-MB

You might want to have your truck checked by a mechanic, if you haven't already. I know it will cost more money but if you're paying a shop to perform the repair it should solve the problem once and for all.
