Having used etrailer in the past, I expected items as ordered, properly packaged, and with acceptable prices. The prices are now high and I could have shopped elsewhere, but I recall the staff reps were very helpful. And the canned excuse of "Covid" cannot apply here. The staff (Brittany) was indeed very helpful.
The box of lights arrived (about 20 units purchased). Surprised to find the box full of lights were not individually packaged and just thrown into a heap and covered with brown paper filler. Many of the lenses were scratched (none had the protective cover expected) and my order was to be 100% LED. I got a mixture of LED and incandescent light bulbs.
I was assured by the very helpful Brittany that the lights should be individually packaged and certainly should not include anything other than LEDs. So she shipped me a new order along with a return label for the first order received. The second order arrived early (arrived on a Friday and was told it would be the following Monday....and I'm thankful). Interestingly, the same 'tossed' parts were discovered, and was even worse because the lenses were tossed in separately from the light bases. With the same scratches, and even more individual parts. Contrary to what Brittany said, this is obviously the new way of doing things at etrailer. So I will take the collection of pieces thrown into a box and call it a day. However will not purchase from etrailer again. I will use the local vendor where I know I will pay less and the parts will be as provided by the factory and not heaped together in box with hopes that all electrical components will actually work.
I went the extra step of NOT doing this review because I knew it was just an odd circumstance and, as Brittany stated, my shipment will be used as a training guideline for what NOT to do. So I did not reply to their request for this review. Having opened the collection of parts again jammed into a box, I changed my mind. And thus this review.

Purchased LED lights to re-wire a 12-year old trailer. etrailer had all the lights/gaskets needed. Perfect fit to the original OEM lights.
by: VWRUST08/04/2023
Ordered this to fit the glolight led trailer light as this light would not fit in to the one on my trailer securely.

Wiring is NOT conventional..
None of the harness wires matched up to the flat 4 wiring.
Red was yellow green was brown etc.
And wiring or color ceding was included with the 7 pin harness
by: James06/03/2023
The tail lights when packaged were not protected from rubbing against the box which got scratched during shipment. The trailer wiring from Curt appeared to be good quality, but the mounting bracket that secures the 4 pole flat plug does not hold it secure and it is loose. I will be sending it back.

I ordered a 10LED tail light for my trailer with the grommet and received them very quickly. Took them out and put them on my trailer and they work just fine Thanks.
by: Michael 07/31/2023
The grommets worked perfect. They appeared a little small until the light was installed and they filled up the space perfectly.
by: Russell06/08/2023
Did not fit properly in my 2012 Continental cargo car trailer. Was way to loose to install so just reused originals. Did not send back due to not enough money to warrant the hassles of a returning.
by: Paul 09/13/2023
A perfect replacement for the weathered and cracked originals.
by: Dale J.08/03/2016
Great product! My right brake/turn signal stopped working on my trailer, so I purchased a new ST70RB 6-1/2" oval trailer light, along with the wiring plug and this matching grommet, installed them in about 30 min, and it works great! The package arrived quickly and was packed nicely. I found out my fuse was blown on my 2016 Traverse for the right trailer stop/turn signal, but that was most likely from the old light which I think was leaking. I didn't know there was a fuse just for that so I learned something new. I will definitely purchase trailer products again from etrailer.com!
by: Keith G.07/08/2017
Used these grommets to install lights on my cargo trailer that I pull behind my motorcycle. I wanted lights that would be sealed from leaking and these grommets allowed me to do that. Easy to use and they hold the lights as expected. Will definitely use these again if I need a similar set up.
by: Brother Matthews01/12/2023
These came highly recommended to me after watching a video on YouTube from both etrailer.com and other sources, who showed the superiority of Optronics PVC Grommets to other brands available. The fit to the lights were much snugger and the grip on the light brackets was better, so even though the light sets I purchased came with grommets, I ordered these and am very pleased with them. The lights fit very snug in the socket holding them, and I'm much more pleased with Optronics grommets than the others. I highly recommend these. I rate them 5*s out of 5. I will be purchasing more. I received them well packaged and within 3 days of ordering. Fantastic! Thank you etrailer.com.

On a road trip with motorcycle trailer and trailer light with grommet flew out after hitting pot hole..Replacement light and grommet fit and works great. The grommet could be a bit more snug but will watch on next trip. Thank you so much.
by: Steve05/03/2017
I purchased these Submersible LED bulbs for my boat trailer for two reasons. The first is so road traffic is aware of my intentions of backing up and the second is to make it easier to back my trailer into my driveway at night. The only thing that I find disappointing about this product, is that the wires are not sealed. You have to plug a pigtail in to power the bulb. Although they say it is watertight, I still plan on sealing the plug with some marine grade silicone sealant. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the way these bulbs light up my path of travel.

The “pvc grommet” doesn’t fit boat trailer snugly.
by: Darren07/01/2018
While these grommets allow the lights to fit inside them perfectly the grommets themselves are fairly loose in the trailer.
I have a 2011 Ironworks challenger series car hauler and it had chrome trim rings around the grommets which I transferred to these and they aided in tightening things up somewhat but it just doesn't seem to fit like I'd expect.
Etrailer is great and always has prompt and courteous service so I am still a customer for all my trailer needs.

Not quite good enough, I ended up going back to my old grommets for a tighter fit and better adhesion of the trim rings.

I wish they had come with the recommended hole dimensions for drilling but they work great.

For this mounting grommet the hole you would need to cut in the location is 6-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches. I have included a link to one of our expert questions that answers this exact question, and provides some additional recommendations.

- What are the Hole Dimensions for the #A70GB, Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 Inch Oval Trailer LightI went out into our warehouse and measured one of our Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Light, # A70GB, that we have in stock. From the measurements I took, you will have to cut a hole that is 6-11/16 inches long and 2-5/8 inches tall.

- Installing LED Tail Lights and Grommets in Trailer Mounting HoleWhen installing your new lights, you will first install the grommet # A70GB into the hole and then install the light into the grommet. This will ensure the grommet is properly seated in the hole and the light will be a snug fit. I've attached a video installation to further assist.
view full answer... - Could the Rubber Grommet # A70GB be Installed in 5/16 in Thick MaterialThe Rubber Grommet # A70GB should have no problem being used in a material that is 5/16 of an inch in thickness as long as the hole is cut the proper shape. To see the dimensions that the hole will need to be check out the picture I attached.

- Size of Hole Needed to Install PVC Grommet # a70gb in Thicker Mounting SurfaceThe ribs of the PVC Grommet for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Tail Lights # a70gb do push further into the light assembly when you attempt to install on a thicker mounting surface. Since the ribs are on the top and bottom you'd just need to open the hold up to 2-5/8 inches vertically and the same 6-3/4 inches left to right and you'd be good. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - How To Remove Trailer Light That Has Been Riveted To TrailerThe way to remove a riveted item on yoru trailer is by using a drill. You want to use a drill bit that is smaller than the head of the rivet. This will remove the body of the rivet and then you can just easily pop the head of the rivet out without expanding the hole. I have attached a link to the trailer lights we offer. If you have any questions about a specific replacement just let me know.
view full answer... - Rough Opening Dimension and Maximum Panel Thickness for # A70GB Lamp Mounting GrommetThe # A70GB grommet is meant to fit a 6-11/16 by 2-5/8 inch rough opening. The maximum panel thickness would be right about 3/16 of an inch.

- What Cut Out Dimension Does Optronics Trailer Taillight # ST70RB FitThe Optronics trailer taillight part # ST70RB was designed to fit a 6-3/4 inch by 2-3/4 inch cut out using the grommet part # A70GB.
view full answer... - Rubber Grommet For 6-1/2" Oval Trailer LightsThe correct grommet for the Optronics Trailer Tail Light # ST70RB you referenced is the PVC Grommet for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Tail Lights # a70gb. It's a direct replacement for Wesbar # 226088 Truck Lite # 60700 Grote # 92420 Peterson # 421-18 Bargman # 40-06-020 and will allow you to flush mount 6-1/2" oval lights. I linked the parts above, as well as attached a video for you to check out.
view full answer... - How to Remove Grommet-Mounted Tail Light for Bulb ReplacementUsually lights that mount using a rubber grommet will need to be popped-out of the grommet to give you access to the lens for removing that part to allow for bulb replacement. You can push the light out of the grommet by moving it out from the grommet, toward you as you look at it. For instance, the red oval light # ST70RB from Optronics uses grommet # A70GB for installation. This light is a exact replacement for Truck Lite part 60202R and others as listed on the linked page.
view full answer... - Is Optronics Trailer Tail Light # STL70RB Sold in Pairs or as a Single Light The Optronics Trailer Tail Light # STL70RB referenced in your question is a single light assembly. If you need a pair of lights you will just need to order 2. For the rubber grommet you will use part # A70GB. I have attached an installation video for this assembly that you might also find helpful.
view full answer... - How to Install Tail Light and Grommet into Trailer Light Mounting Bracket # BK70BBI went out to the warehouse and pulled a # BK70BB bracket, a 6 inch oval tail light and the A70GB grommet. I found that it is much easier to install everything if you push the grommet fully into the bracket until it is fully seated and then push the light into the grommet until it bottoms out. At that point, you will have a fit tight enough that the lamp is securely held in place. Make sure the grommet is pushed FULLY into place before inserting the lamp.
view full answer... - Brackets and Grommets for Boat Trailer LightsI've linked to a list of our trailer light mounting grommets and brackets. Which one you choose will depend on the dimensions of your light. For example, the Optronics Mounting Bracket, part # BK70BB, will mount 6-1/2" oval lights and requires a grommet, part # A70GB, to complete installation. It mounts on 6-1/4" centers, so the mounting area needed can play a part, too. I've linked to video reviews of both of these in the off chance that this is what you need. If you tell me your light's...

The part # a70gb is sold individually and the linked photo gives you its measurements so you can be sure it fits before ordering.

- How to Install the ST70RB Red Oval Flush Mount Tail Lights on Trailer without Existing HoleTo install the part # ST70RB you could use the mounting bracket part # BK70BB to add a provision to your trailer and then use the grommet # a70gb.
view full answer... - Mounting Dimensions of the Optronics 6-1/2 Inch Trailer Light # ST70RBI took a few measurements for you that I think will help. I have attached a diagram and made a short video for you showing the dimensions and the light. I believe this light will work with your bumper without having to cut out a hole in the back of the bumper. When the light is mounted in the grommet, portion of the light that extends past the wall of the bumper will only be 1-11/32 inches. You should have no problem installing this in your 2 inch x 4 inch bumper.

- Could Optronics Clearance Light # ST70RB Fit Polaris PU5X16-RWI am sure you could fit the Sealed, 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # ST70RB on your trailer but I couldn't find a decent enough picture of your trailer to determine if it does use a similar light or not. I attached a dimension picture though for this light for you to compare to what you have on your trailer to see if it's an exact fit or not. For a grommet to install this in a trailer flush (assuming yours is different) you'd want # A70GB. Or for a mounting bracket you'd...

- Does The Optronics Trailer Light, # BU70CB, Have A Plug-In Wire AttachedThe Optronics Trailer Light, # BU70CB, does not have a plug-in wire attached. It will require the Optronics Straight 2-Wire Pigtail, # A45CB. This part is the 2-prong plug that inserts into the back of the light and has a 6 inch lead with two wires. The red wire is bare at the end and the white ground wire has a ring terminal on the end. You will also need the Optronics Rubber Grommet, # A70GB, for flush mounting the trailer light.

If that information is not available on the light housing then you will need to choose a replacement based on measurements (see product page) or if the trailer manufacturer has that information...
view full answer... - How to Replace 6-1/2 Inch Oval Boat Trailer Tail Light without ScrewsWhen replacing your 6-1/2 inch oval tail light like the Optronics Sealed # ST70RB that does not have any visible screws on your boat trailer, you can remove the assembly by simply pulling it out of the existing grommet. You can wiggle it back and forth to get it loose and you may need to use a screwdriver to put a bit of pressure on the edge. Then when replacing the light, you will just snap the new light back into the grommet after connecting the 3-prong plug. I have attached an installation...
view full answer... - Is the Optronics Trailer Light # ST70AB Flush MountedYes, the Optronics Trailer Light # ST70AB that you referenced is flush mounted and would be an excellent choice for you. It does have a ground wire connection that you would want a Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail # A47PB to use for installation. You would need to plug this into the back of the # ST70AB and then wire it by function to your trailer wiring. You might also be interested in purchasing a Rubber Grommet # a70gb to make installation easier.
view full answer... - Is Oval Trailer Turn Stop and Tail Light Part # ST70RB SubmersibleNo worries, the 6-1/2 Inch Oval Trailer Stop, Turn, and Tail Lamp part # ST70RB is sealed and is waterproof as well as shockproof. We also offer the grommet, part # A70GB as well as the wire pigtail, part # A45PB which are sold separately.
view full answer... - Finding Clear Trailer Light to Replace SAE R 97 DOTThe SAE number isn't typically a great way to track down replacement lights as it's not a part number so I don't know exactly what light you are looking for but the Optronics light part # BU70CB that you referenced is a clear light that is DC powered. You would need a grommet part # A70GB to mount it and then also the 2 prong wiring harness # A45CB.
view full answer... - Is Optronics Trailer Tail Light # ST70RB the Same As Petersen Trailer Tail Light # M421KRYes. The M421KR is a Petersen part and the Optronics equivalent is the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 3-Function, # ST70RB, that you have referenced. For a complete set up, you will need Rubber Grommet # A70GB, and Straight 3-Wire Pigtail, # A45PB.

I recommend installing the bracket on the lower rail of the carrier so you can run the wiring under the basket to help keep it from being damaged. If you check out the product review video I have attached for the light kit, part # 98174LED you can see the...
