Protects the lights great! 424410

product shipped quickly and worked great for my trailer rebuild. 446822

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

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

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

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

Had to do a bit of clean up and de-burring prior to paint but the product worked well except for the fact that it does not provide a slot for the licence plate light to shine out. 655932

I'm happy very good parts 636908

Etrailer had the exact parts I was having trouble finding. The order process was very easy. I received notifications throughout the whole process letting me know exactly when my order was shipped and when I would receive my order. I will use etrailer when I need to order more parts. 636677

Heavy duty. Should protect the lights so I can quit buying replacements. Delivered quick and complete. Thanks! 633774

Friend brought a couple of his trailers over for me to install these. These are heavy made and protect the lights so well had to have a set for my trailer. 614102

I was beyond impressed with these boxes. They are about 1/8" steel and look way more substantial than others I looked at. I have ordered several things from etrailer over the years and the customer service and quality have always been phenomenal. 613829

Absolutely the WORST welding I have ever seen in my life, just plain sloppy work with no thought given to the products final appearance. These things are going straight into the scrap metal pile, NOT onto my trailer. 606572

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

Fast delivery and good quality product, good investment 598374

Works great. Easy to install. Very sturdy and fits perfectly on common Peterson trailer lights. Ordering and delivery experience excellent. 593795

As advertised, well made, just what I needed to complete my trailer 572593

Extremely tough, couldn’t ask for anything better 562723

Very fast shipping, product well constr ucted. 553949

Very well built and a great addition to my trailer. 551564

by: Charles07/25/2018

Great product 545959

Fit like a glove, very strong. I only wish I had purchased it when I got my trailer. They are a lot less expensive than replacing the tail lights. Don't ask me how I know that. 524178

by: Jim O05/30/2018

Very well made, well worth the cost. If it saves just one tail light ( I have LED lights and they cost about $15 each) it's paid for its self. If you need trailer parts etrailer has the best. 514028

Looks good and certainly will do the job of protecting the lights, good choice on my part. It will be a while before I get them installed on my trailer that I am completely rebuilding. So can't send any pictures. 498588

Excellent product very sturdy! 491156

by: Woodtech01/25/2018

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

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.

Just finished installing the Light guards. After a little grinding to fit tail lights that were not made for these guards, the job looks great. This is a better product than I expected. Will be getting more for my other trailer. 443419

Provides good protection for the trailer lights. Just what was needed. Simple welding skills are all that are needed to install. 442384

by: Len W09/24/2017

Excellent product. Worth every penny. Would highly recommend. Has already saved me from having to by new trailer lights. 436029

well constructed and definitely protects light fixiture. Easy install 418846

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

It arrived on time and appears very sturdy. However, the taillight that came with it was broken, so I've been unable to install it. 391627

These have saved my plastic tail lights many times . Worth the money and shipping cost. to get it here. 388550

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.

c f - 06/01/2018

Product very well built and made of quite heave metal. Nice job. 379072

This is just what I wanted for my dump trailer. Heavy duty. No more lost lights when trailer tire comes apart. Praise the Lord 375571

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

This is a nice heavy gauge steel light protector and I am pleased with the quality. This will stand up against abuse and protect the lights well. The only drawback is that there is no cut-out for the license plate light. I would highly recommend these to anyone needing light protection. 351332

Good product, but a bit overbuilt, so I'm going to drill some holes in the sides to remove material. It fits the STL89B light as advertised. 346661

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

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.

I've needed these for a long time. Fit is perfect. 339047

by: Todd01/19/2017

love them ,great fit , made very well 333891

The order came today in a very timely manor. Everything looks great. I'll be installing everything soon. 330203

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

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
