Today we're going to take a look at the unpainted steel light guard for the 440 and 440L taillights. Now this is designed to fit the square taillight 440 or 440L. This will provided added protection around the taillight to keep it from getting broken or damaged. And it is a heavy duty steel construction. You can see it's unpainted or a raw finish.Now this does mount by using the mounting post on the light, or you could weld this onto the trailer frame. If you notice on the side it does have the cutout for the side marker light.Now if this is used on the left hand driver's side light, it will require modification to accommodate the license plate light that's usually at the bottom on the driver's side light.
Or you can use a separate light to relocate the license plate light.This is for a quantity of one light guard. A few dimensions on this, we're going to give you the outside dimensions first. So the width, outside width is 5 and 13/16ths of an inch. Outside dimension on the height is five and a quarter inches. And total depth on it is right at three inches deep.
The inside dimension on the width is right at five and a half inches. Inside height is five inches. And the depth will be the same, three inches deep. And the mounting holes that are for the studs that are on the light that will go through these holes, center to center is right at two inches.That should do it for the review on the unpainted steel light guard for the 440 and 440L taillights.

Light guard for 440 or 440L tail light.Heavier material than others so that justifies the price for me. It does not have a license plate light hole but my plate is mounted on the tailgate anyway. Just paint and mount.
This is a nice and sturdy protector for your tail light. There are some pros and cons... Pros: Sturdy. You can stand on it if bolted to your trailer frame. Drill some holes to mount it to your homebuilt trailer, and it doubles as the tail light mounting bracket. Has cutout for side marker light. Cons: Welds are a little rough. Basic blobby MIG welds. I ground mine down and rounded them off with a belt sander. No opening for the license plate light at the bottom. I drilled 3 x 1" holes in the bottom of mine to remedy (see images). That's a lot of extra work. Too bad they don't cut a slot/hole in the bottom of this for you. After a little cleanup and rounding the welded corners, and painting, you have a nice tail light bracket and protector.
Was what I needed to protect the tailights from getting destroyed, perfect fit and look great with a little prep and some color,thanks a bunch!
Very well made, and heavy duty. Only thing you will have to do is cut out a slot for license plate light Has the side light cut out but not for license plate light Great for trailers that go in rough places
These housings worked great and are really well made. Welding them on to my trailer was super easy. They are holding up great and will probably last years.
They worked out perfect for my 1948 Converto Civilian Jeep Trailer. The Weld's are perfect for that old of a trailer, all I did was prime & paint. No more broken tail lights.Check out the Pictures. Thanks Guys ????.
I ordered new LED taillights for my small utility trailer from that big box store in the sky. Got to thinking I should find a way to protect that new investment. Googled trailer taillight guards and the only logical choice were these UNPAINTED STEEL LIGHT GUARDS. The price (even with shipping!) was very reasonable. Shipping was very fast. In fact, the paint is drying while I wait for the taillights to arrive. Now that I`ve discovered ETRAILER, all future trailer parts will be ordered from here. The product itself is bulletproof! You could drive a truck over these without damage. Very good quality: excellent bends, smooth welds, perfect holes. The lack of paint is not a big deal. Actually gave me the opportunity to touch up all those rust spots and scratches that I would have never taken the time to do.
Exactly what I have needed for years for my utility trailer. Well made of heavy gauge metal.
Awesome! I got some standard square led lights and they fit right in. A quick coat of rust proofing spray paint and it’s good to go. Maybe now my son won’t break the lights off anymore by hitting them with the basketball.
Nice rugged construction, full welded seams. Real thick steel so it'll take the heat when welding to trailer. Best price on the net, and way more skookum than the other brands.
Light guards are good... Beefy.... I have to check out lights yet as I am unsure as to grounding. No white wire. Was told just to put my white wire to either mounting post ? Had to buy lights to accommodate guards which should have a 6 inch wide version for most generic lights out there with side light. Nice folks and good availability and prices at e...
Product was of excellent quality. I bought a pair of the for my acme tow dolly to protect the taillights from debris kicked up by the tires and destroying the taillights. I modified them by having medal strips welded onto the back on either side of the already present strip on the back. I spray painted them and attached them with the screws of the back of the taillights. I used blue locktite on the screws and my problem has been solved for the last approx. 5000 miles. Past experience would have meant replacing the missing or heavily damaged lights several times! Glad I made the purchase ....problem solved!
These light guards are built really well. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that I had to do some grinding of the welds to make them smooth. I welded them onto my trailer and they've been doing a great job of protecting my lights.
nice product, price a little high for a piece of unpainted steel, also needs to be a left and right side for trailers, in Texas needs opening on left to light the licence plate. The people in sales were pleasant to talk with, product arrive as promised, nice experience, will by from them again, recommended.
These tailight guards are a bit overkill for a light trailer. The aluminum treadplate guards that eTrailer sells for Peterson-style tailight are too flimsy. These are very heavy duty and should be welded onto heavy steel structure on the trailer or bolted with hardened steel fasteners. Heavy-duty aluminum (no rust) would be better. These have to be painted. Also , I had to cut a window for the license plate light. Should make in left and right.
Very sturdy part, all welds had good penetration. Does an excellent job of protecting your lights.
Great product! 4/5 stars for me. If one of the boxes had a hole at the bottom so the license plate light could shine through, it’d be great.
Welded these on my firewood trailer, spray painted with rattle can after they cooled, mounted and wired the lights and have not broke a light since! Used to break at least one light every year by dropping a log on them or backing into things!
FInally - best investment so I do not keep breaking lights. Spay painted with Rustoleum Gray - Only thing is you need to drill a hole in the bottom to let the license plate light sign through, used drill press with big drill couple of holes.
Great product; Very fast shipping, exactly two days to my door in Ontario. This is my second order from etrailer and I would highly recommend them.
Shipped and delivered on time. Product was as described. Very sturdy, heavy gauge steel. Welds look good. As it was bare metal, I then painted the parts: 1, a self-etching primer and 2, top coat of Rustoleum Black. Overall, great protection!
Product is as advertised. Construction is good, welds are good. Wiring hole is generic and won't work with every fixture, but easily adapted by drilling a new one. No mounting holes, but again, you can just drill your own and custom position them to suit your trailer. Heavier duty than I expected, which is a plus.
Very fast, prompt shipping. OK - so they are a bit rough, but they are to be used on a trailer and are going to get beat up. File the welds smoother if you must and spray paint them and they look great. OR you could shop around, pay twice as much and not get as sturdy of guard for your trailer lights. Well worth it.
Ordered these for a utility trailer to house the tail lights because they are 1/8" thick there are others that are 1/16 of an inch thick on other sites, but these are HEAVY DUTY thick steel perfect for a utility trailer that will see some abuse. Welds are good, plain steel means i can weld them on and paint any color i want.
