Features to know about

Reliable Rear Lighting: 7 Functions in One Compact Light

When you need one light that does it all, this Optronics combination trailer tail light covers every base. Measuring 5-3/16" long by 4-9/16" tall, it handles stop, turn, tail, rear reflex, side marker, side reflex, and license plate illumination all in one square housing. It’s built for 12V DC systems and draws 2.5 amps on stop/turn and 1.0 amp on tail. The built-in reflectors mean no separate reflector pieces to mount or maintain, keeping the setup clean and simple.

Lasting Through Vibration and Shock: Built-In Protection for the Bulbs

Rough roads can shake a trailer to pieces, but this light’s shock-proof sockets help keep the incandescent bulbs safe. The socket is designed with some flex to absorb vibration instead of transferring it right to the bulb. That bit of give makes a big difference—reducing the chance of shattered filaments and helping the bulbs last longer even in heavy use.

Simple Wiring and Mounting: Quick Connect and Stud-Grounded Design

Installing the ST9RB is straightforward thanks to its quick connect wiring system. Strip about 1/4" of wire, push it into the marked hole on the back, and it locks in place—no soldering needed. Removal is just as easy with a small screwdriver in the release slot. The light grounds through its two mounting studs, spaced 2" center-to-center, so you don’t have to worry about a separate ground wire as long as you’re on clean metal.

Easy Maintenance When Needed: Replaceable Bulb and Lens

Keeping this light working doesn’t require replacing the whole assembly. The lens screws on for access to the two standard incandescent bulbs inside, which are simple to swap out when needed. If you ever crack a lens or need a new cover, replacement parts like lens #A8RB or bulb #A1157B fit right in place. That keeps repairs quick and affordable while extending the life of the fixture itself.

Durable Construction for Everyday Use: Red Lens and Plastic Housing

The sturdy red lens covers a durable plastic body that stands up well against corrosion and weather exposure. Designed as a surface-mount unit, it’s ready for regular trailering duty without worrying about water intrusion into non-submersible housings. Backed by a 3-year warranty, it’s a straightforward, dependable choice for keeping your trailer visible and safe on the road.

by:

Great Product, it's good quality and will fit perfectly for the trailer I use in my Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Business. The only problem is I ordered the wrong side. Wasn't sure if by the which one was the left or the right? I was looking at the trailer form the front when I determined it was the left one but it appears your suppose to look at the back of the trailer when you do that. Guess I will be ordering the otherside here shortly. Maybe I can get an exchange or if not then I will have a spare and hope if it does get broken again it's the other side. Etrailer has some really good quality stuff at a very good price. I got my hidden hitch from them at a Great Price. They even had a video that showed me how to install it. A couple of the local places here wanted 3 times the amount of what I paid to provide the hitch and install it for me. Will never go anywhere else for any trailer parts or accessories.

They are still on and I assume they are still working. Parked the trailer in storage after I put the lights on and have only been out to put the new license plate sticker on.

Ordering the part I needed was very easy. The price was clearly stated, and when I got to the payment men my portion, so were the shipping options. It arrived when promised, and was exactly what I needed. Overall, I had a great shopping experience.

I cant believe its been a year since I ordered this. Weve had a lot of rain this year, and the parts I ordered still look like the originals. Im still very happy with the purchase and would these folks again!



by:

Exactly what I needed to replace broken tail light on my trailer. It was an exact match so was able to salvage some parts from old one ... just in case. As I recall, the price was fair and delivered in good time.

I have no complaints ... only praise.

Would highly recommend.

It’s a light. It fits. It shines.

Great company!
I received my order
promptly, unfortunately the box and contents had been smashed during shipping. After contacting customer service via e-mail, e-trailer arranged for a replacement in no time. I will definitely buy from you again when I'm in the market for trailer parts.

Thanks e-trailer!

After a year of use of our trailer hauling hay, we moved and used our trailer for some of our belongings, 1700 miles in the rain, and all the trailer lighting still works perfectly. Thanks again etrailer.

etrailer.com had exactly what I needed. I bought a replacement for a broken trailer stop, turn, tail and license plate light for my bar-b-que trailer and it matched the other side perfectly. It was packaged very well. I'll be a repeat customer.

Lights were a perfect replacement for existing (busted) trailer lights. These lights did not contain wires, but had well-marked jacks to insert existing wires into. Installed in less than 30 minutes, tested - working great.

After a year, lights still working great. They stay out in elements year-round.



by:

I ordered both the ST9RB and ST8RB. After years of use, my other boat trailer lights were starting to cause me problems. I decided to order new ones for each side. These are a different make, but the connections were the same as were the mounting holes. Just took minutes to mount and both worked great. Nice bright lights again! Good price and fast shipping. I would definitely order again.

We purchased a replacement combo tail light. It arrived on time, in good condition and was the exact replacement.
Although it does not really show on our trailer, we have attached a picture since the trailer has a unique use. It's a small landscaper's trailer converted to a mobile radio broadcasting studio.

The rear of the light accepts bare wire to wire in the light. In order to ground it you need to make sure it is installed and bolted to a bare metal surface as it uses the way that it mounts as the ground. I would make sure you are getting a good ground connection when mounting the light.



by:

This one is for the “driver” side. It has the lens on the bottom for lighting the license plate. (It does not include the license plate holder. I like this one because you just push in the wires. I recommend this light.

  • Recommended Replacement Trailer Lights With Side Lights For Small Utility Trailer
    We have just what you are looking for. I recommend the LED Submersible Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, part # STL8RB. This is for the right side of the trailer and is a stud mounted LED light. It has the side marker light that illuminates when the running lights are powered. For the left side of the trailer you will want part # STL9RB. I have attached a product review video and have also attached a drawing that shows the dimension for these lights you can take a look at.

  • Preferred Method of Grounding Trailer Lighting Circuits
    Running a direct ground up to the trailer tongue or junction box would certainly work, but the only time I'd see that as being necessary is if the lamps were connected to a non metallic structure or a metallic structure that wasn't directly connected to the trailer frame. If the lamps aren't connected to a metal structure in direct contact with the trailer frame, you can use a short length of # DW02359-1 wire with a # DW05702-1 ring terminal on each end to serve as a jumper wire that joins...

    The Optronics Right-Hand Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, Part # ST8RB, connects with two wires. On the rear of the housing are holes to accept bare wire and underneath each one is a smaller hole that serves as a wire release; just insert a small pin (or something like a paper clip) to release the wires. The left-hand matching light is part # ST9RB. If you refer to the included photo illustrating a trailer-side 7-way connector you will be able to see which two wires from the connector...

  • How to Connect Trailer Wiring to Optronics # ST8RB and # ST9RB Trailer Tailllights
    If you have the Optronics # ST8RB and # ST9RB, no connector is needed. On the back of the taillight, there is a hole for the stop/turn and a hole for the running light wire. Each of these holes will have a smaller hole directly below it. Strip back the insulation on the wire by about a 1/4 inch, twist the copper strands of each wire tightly and push it into the hole in the back of the lamp as you're pushing a small screwdriver into the smaller hole. Once the wire is fully inserted, remove...

  • Replacement Tail Light Assemblies for 1976 Argosy Camper
    The issue that you're going to run into here is that the lip that you removed is designed to allow you to mount lights on the back because of the curved ends. Because it's such a smooth curve there, you're not going to be able to use something like the Bargman Wraparound Clearance/Side Marker Light - 86 Series - Red - Black Base # 30-86-202. With that said, I'll mention two options for you that you could likely make work by moving the electrical wiring in a bit. First, you could use the...

    I might have an option for you but without more detail, like a photo, it would just be a guess. That said, the size you mentioned is pretty common more or less for square trailer tail lights like the Optronics Combination Trailer Tail Light part # ST8RB for passenger or part # ST9RB for driver. If this is what yours looks like, I recommend using these as the two stud mounting pattern is pretty standard so don't get bogged down in the small dimensional differences.

  • The Optronics Trailer Light, # ST9RB, Is Not Working On Trailer Lights With Separate Ground Wire
    The Optronics Trailer Light, # ST9RB is a stud mount light that is grounded through the mounting studs. The lights on your trailer are using a separate ground wire. You will have to run a ground wire to the stud to be able to ground the light. I have the Optronics Trailer Light, # STL9RB. This is a same size light with the same features, but has LED lights instead of the incandescent lights. It is not grounded through the studs so it has the three wires ( brown, yellow, and white) like...

  • Recommended Replacement LED Lights For Trailer That Keeps Blowing Fuses
    The wires with the circuit you are using are not big enough to handle the draw you have so increasing the fuse is not recommended. I recommend replacing the lights you have with LEDs. The replacement for the # ST9RB lights you have now would be part # STL9RB. These draw about 1/10 of the amperage draw the # ST9RB does. This would decrease the draw on your system and a larger fuse would not be needed. Occasionally when LED lights are installed you will have what is called hyperflash,...

  • Are the ST8RB and ST9RB Submersible Lights
    I have a solution for you, but neither the # ST8RB nor # ST9RB are submersible lights. Instead, you'll want to use the # ST6RB and # ST7RB - which are the submersible versions of those lights. These are still incandescent tail lights that look exactly the same, have the same dimensions and are the same 2 wire electrical system, they're just sealed up so that they can be safely used on boat trailers.

  • Replacement Square Stud Mount Trailer Lights for Utility Trailer
    The Combination Trailer Tail Light part # ST9RB for driver side or part # ST8RB for passenger side is just what you need to replace the tail lights on a utility trailer. The lights mount via two studs which are 2" apart so they will be a direct replacement. In regards to installation, the lights ground though the studs so you only need to attach the stop/turn and running light wires for each side.

There is also what is called a wishbone harness, like # A35W42B. This type of harness has the tail light signal split at the plug. There are then two separate...
