Light Guard - Unpainted Steel for 440 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. 604100

My dad and I haven’t had to replace a light fixture since. I’m not even worried about my kids standing on it now. I haven’t stood on it in fear of me breaking the light studs. But I’ve used it as a foot rest.

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. 326289

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 936071

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. 681679

The best light guard on the market

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 ????. 460784

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. 450621

After a year of use, these taillight guards have done their job well. Taillights still undamaged! No trailer should be without them.

Exactly what I have needed for years for my utility trailer. Well made of heavy gauge metal. 911761

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. 732486

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. 325771

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... 135790

Heavy Duty as I evidently need after a few lights smashed and even a bend to one of these...but I like them...not sure of value...but I did not have take the time to construct...thanks..

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! 318294

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. 719647

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. 387396

I stand by my initial review. I would have to add one concern, the size of the box frame did not fit a basic standard new light unit. needs to be at least 1/4 inch larger all sides.

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. 369460

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. 734770

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! 469687

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. 659091

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. 175452

Everything is perfect, no issues whatsoever. I appreciate the follow up.

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! 450351

All good. Thx

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. 343533

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. 392390

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. 340541

After one year product has worked great. Being plain steel i was able to prime and paint to match the color of the trailer, Heavy duty steel, weldable, lights fit perfectly within housing. Would order again.
