Features to know about

Reliable Road Signaling: Combination Stop, Turn, and Tail Light

When visibility and communication on the road matter most, this 5-1/2" round incandescent trailer light gets the job done. It serves as a stop light, tail light, and turn signal all in one. The red lens over the 1157 bulb provides clear, consistent output that meets DOT compliance for safety. With a power draw of 2.2 amps at 12.8V, it’s simple, effective, and built for dependable everyday trailering.

Withstands Rough Roads: Vibar Socket for Shock Protection

Rough roads and vibration can take a toll on bulbs, but this light’s Vibar socket keeps it together. The vibration-dampening design absorbs road shock before it reaches the brass socket, helping extend bulb life. That means fewer replacements and less downtime when you’re towing over bumpy terrain or uneven surfaces.

Built to Last: Durable Steel Housing with Powder Coat Finish

This light doesn’t just look tough—it is tough. The steel housing with a powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion, so it stands up to rain, grime, and road debris. It’s made to last through years of use without losing its clean look or performance.

Clean Mounting Setup: Flush Fit with Built-In Flange

A solid fit makes installation easier and keeps your trailer looking neat. This recessed-mount light installs flush using its built-in flange and fits a 4-1/2" diameter hole. The overall diameter is 5-1/2" with a thickness of 1-5/8", and the mounting holes sit 4-1/4" apart center to center. The 2-wire design includes power leads and grounds through the mounting stud for a straightforward connection that stays secure.

Easy Maintenance and Upgrade Potential: Replaceable 1157 Bulb Design

When the time comes for maintenance or an upgrade, access is simple. The lens can be removed to reach the standard 1157 dual-filament bulb, which can be swapped quickly. You can even replace it with an LED version if you want lower power draw and longer bulb life down the line.

  • Recessed-mount trailer lights install with a grommet: which is often sold separately. These lights extend past the trailer surface and require a hole for installation. If replacing a light, you can utilize the pre-existing hole. If installing a new light, you will need to cut a hole or use a mounting bracket (sold separately) to complete the installation.
