I got the light, had to modify it to get it to fit. It still doesn't work!
I would never order anything from you guys!

Thanks for the pictures Z! How did the rest of the install go, and what kind of trailer was this on?



by:

I ordered both driver and passenger side tail lights. It only came with one wire harness. They told me oh well sorry about that!!

I am sorry to hear about the initial experience with your order. I will have someone from our customer service team reach out and get this resolved for you.



by:

great light, very durable.



by:

Took quite a a while to get here but the price is right and the light is correct



by:

Nice lights



by:

Exactly what I ordered. Packaged nicely and fast delivery



by:

Perfect fit



by:

The drivers side does not come with the Pigtail. A 3-prong pigtail# A47PB is sold separately. Its unfortunate the web description isn't clear about this.
I also found the pigtails don't clip in as tight as my old Wesbar lights of the same design. There doesnt seem to be a lot of options if you want the same style of lights for your ez laoder trailer.



by:

Works great easy to install



by:

Fits great on my trailer and almost looks like the original Wesbar light. Does not come with pigtail wiring harness or mounting bolts. They should update the description with that information. I used my old hardware and pigtail.



by:

Thanks to the help from etrailer I was able to find these tail lights that would replace the Wes Bar tail lights. The routing of the wires is a little different but will work. My boat trailer is 7 years old and I was afraid that I would have to have new covers fabricated



by:

Easy to install.



by:

Worst way to attach a tail light I have ever seen ! Very difficult or near impossible to get a wrench on the bolt to tighten.



by:

lights are nice but didn't come with any mounting hardware so I had go to the hardware store to get the bolts to mount them with.



by:

I am so happy with these lights!! They are a perfect match for my Ranger trailer! I haven't been able to find these and here they are.....at a very reasonable price! Everything as promised and even the shipping package was perfect!



by:

Exactly what I wanted. Excellent experince from customer service to delivery!



by:

Product did not come with wiring or specific 3 prong plug which made it totally useless.



by:

Well, once I ordered the plugs that were needed to install they work great. Just have to read the fine print plugs sold separately. They fit the ex loader boat trailers.



by:

The bolts don’t fit in the back of the light as positively as they did in the Wesbar light. This just made it a little more cumbersome to install. Also I don’t know how waterproof the plug jack will be. I’ll find out soon.



by:

Only took a few minutes to install, they look good and work great so far. I'll update once I put them to use!



by:

I’m on my third one. The other two did not make the first trip without coming detached and becoming road debris. I taped and superglued this one to its base and it’s lasted a couple trips now. Each one appeared snapped in place but the base must have enough give to release them while hauling.



by:

The taillight was delivered on time and in good condition. The taillight has been upgraded with a water tight plug. Older style the wires were epoxy molded in. I had to purchase a plug to match the new style. There was a note on the web page but it didn't catch my eye. It should be in bold print that it was a upgrade model and with a change to the electrical plug. Etrailer is a great place to purchase all your trailer needs.



by:

The lights look really good, however, I can only install the passenger side as the driver side does not include any wires. A pigtail needs to be ordered extra for the driver's side. IF you scroll all the way down on the item page, it states it under the "NOTES". Make sure you order the $[XX] pigtail if you want to wire up the light (driver's side). I spoke with TecNiq and mentioned that it would be a good idea to include the pigtail and adjust the price, or put the "NOTE" right on top where it can be seen.

Perfect fit on my 2003 ez loader boat trailer, lights are nice and bright. Just don’t try to use nyloc nuts as the carriage bolt will just spin in the plastic track.

Glad we had what you were looking for, John! And thanks for the heads up on the nyloc nuts. I hadn't heard this before and it's definitely good to know. What kind of boat are you carrying?

  • Replacement for Wesbar 281594
    Hey Mike! Wesbar has been gone for a while which is why you're having trouble finding their lights. I believe the TecNiq Contoured Eight Function Box Style Tail Light # TN62XR (Passenger Side) and # TN42XR (Drivers Side) share the same design and dimensions. These measure 7-1/2" long x 3-1/2" tall x 3" deep with mounting holes 2" apart on center so I would compare that to the Wesbar you have now. You will also need # TN47PV for installation. The one thing they do not have is the side...

  • Availability of Replacement LED Tail Light for EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    Hey Ken, welcome back! We do sell replacement LED tail lights for your EZ Loader boat trailer. A lot of their trailers use the TecNiq Contoured Eight Function Box Style Tail Light # TN42XR (Drivers Side) and # TN62XR (Passenger Side). These measure 7-1/2" long x 3-1/2" tall x 3" deep so I would check that against what you have now just to be sure. If you have a different style light let me know and I'll see what else is available. What kind of boat are you hauling?

  • Is There A Replacement Lens Available For A Wesbar 105825?
    Hi Jim! The Wesbar Wrap Around Lenses were discontinued quite a while ago, so unfortunately, we do not have any left in stock. I did a lot of searching around the web, but I was unable to find anywhere that still carries them. You may be able to find one at a local trailer supply store, but I would definitely call before venturing out to see. Gas is expensive these days! The best thing we can offer would be a full replacement. I included two options that would be the most similar to your...

  • Can TecNiq Contoured Taillight Replace Wesbar # 281595
    Hey Tien, yes the TecNiq # TN42XR is same size as the Wesbar 281595 and would easily install in place of one.

  • Could TecNiq Trailer Taillight TN42XR Fit EZ Loader Boat Trailer
    Hey John, I would need to see a picture of the setup to see if the TecNiq part # TN42XR would fit. If the shape of the light assembly you have now looks the same as this light though it would work as this is a pretty standard design that this was modeled after.

  • Are Mounting Holes On Wesbar 271595 Tail Light The Same As The TecNiq TN42XR And TN62XR?
    Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the mounting holes on the TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light # TN42XR (driver side) and # TN62XR (passenger side) are exactly the same as the Wesbar 271595 tail light. They are 2" apart on center. I believe this TecNiq light was created with those Wesbar wraparound lights in mind because they were super popular back in the day and for a long time nobody else made a suitable replacement. What kind of trailer are they going on?

  • Is the TecNiq Seven Function Box Style Tail Light TN62XR a Replacement for a Wesbar 271594?
    No, it is not plug and play Paul but it can be. The TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light item # TN62XR passenger side and item # TN42XR driver's side use a 3-Prong PL-3 Plug like item # TN47PV. These lights measure 7-1/2" long x 3-1/2" tall x 3" deep and are commonly used to replace the old discontinued Wesbar 271594 and 271595 lights. You could easily splice the item # TN47PV harness into your existing wiring to make this a plug and play connection. The older Wesbar 271594...

  • Replacement for Wesbar 271597 and 271595 Tail Lights
    Hi Johnny! The Wesbar 271595 and 271594 were discontinued a while ago and are no longer available. The best option at this point is to replace them with another brand with similar dimensions. The original light is approximately 7-1/2" long x 3-1/2" tall x 3-1/4" deep with mounting holes 2" apart on center. For a replacement, I recommend the TecNiq Contoured Eight Function Box Style Tail Light # TN42XR (driver side) and # TN62XR (passenger side). These measure 7-1/2" long x 3-1/2" tall...

  • Can You Mix LED and Incandescent Lights On Trailer
    Hey Bill! If you're switching from incandescent to LED lights like the # TN42XR it is best to convert everything to LED. However, it is possible to mix them and have it work. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, there isn't a particular rhyme or reason behind it it just depends on the trailer. It looks like you already picked up this light and the passenger side # TN62XR. You can go ahead and install them and then test to see if everything works correctly. If you run into issues...
