Trailer Lighting Kit Recommendation for 16 Foot Trailer
Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 05/11/2025
Question:
Hi, I need to completely rewire my 16ft trailer, but I don’t know what all lights and reflectors I need. It’s not at my house right now and I don’t know how wide it is. It stays outside so I’d like them to be waterproof. What would you recommend so it’s DOT approved and I’ve got all the right lights?

Hey Christopher, a 16 foot trailer like you have is almost guaranteed to not be over 80 inches in width which the Optronics Trailer Wiring Lighting Kit part # TL5RK would work great for. This comes with everything you'd need for your trailer to be legal from a lighting and reflector point of view. The lights are also waterproof too so there'd be no need to worry about towing the trailer in the rain. These are actually even submersible too so you could back the trailer in water if it happened to be a boat trailer.
