Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
Combination Lights for Trailers Over 80" Wide
If a trailer is 80" or wider at its widest point, then it requires rear clearance lights in addition to basic trailer lights. These clearance lights indicate the width of the trailer when it is viewed from the back.
To meet these requirements on a flatbed utility trailer where the bed extends past the wheels, you can install combination trailer lights that include the rear clearance function. For proper mounting, the lights must be installed at the widest points on the rear of the trailer - one on each corner.
Surface-Mount Light
Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.
PC-Rated Lights
A PC-rated light produces a 90-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 180 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be clearly seen when you are standing directly in front of the light, as well as when you are standing on either side of the light. When properly installed, this type of light can function as both a front clearance light and a side marker light or as a rear clearance light and side marker light.

Video Transcript for Optronics Trailer Lights - Tail Lights - TL16RK Review
Today we're reviewing Optronics part number TL16RK. This is a waterproof trailer light kit for trailers that are made more than 80 inches wide. It comes with a 25 foot wiring harness with a four pole flat. If you need it it also comes with a vehicle end four pole flat. This one has a four foot wire. It also comes with two reflectors which you can mount with screws using those holes or you can use the double-sided tape pads that also come with it.You have two side marker lights with chrome bases that are self-grounding.
They also have gaskets that will make them weather tight. These are the wires you use to install those. Your license plate bracket is plastic therefore it's corrosion proof and it goes back here like that. The driver's side taillight has a clear strip here that is your license plate illuminator. We can turn our overhead lights off for a moment and I'll show you how these work.We're using a portable power source today-that's your taillight, that's a brake light and here's your turn signal.
This is department of transportation approved. It is universal mount; it has a limited three year warranty. Everything here is warranted except the light bulbs of course. Please note that if you're trailer is over 80 inches wide you're required by the federal government to have additional clearance lights which we do have-they're sold separately.For example part number MC94RB and there you have it for Optronics part number TL16RK the Weatherproof over 80 Inch Trailer Light Kit. .

Ordering this light kit was the first time I've used eTrailer.com. What a pleasant experience. Ordering was a breeze and the follow-up customer service was first class. Whenever I need trailer parts, it'll be eTrailer.com for me. I will recommend this web site to anyone I know. I like to shop around online to find the best deal. I went to a competitor's web site that read "low price match guaranty". So I called them on the phone. Their rep said, "We can"t price match eTrailer.com". It was the exact same item. 25% lower price at eTrailer. Fast shipping, excellent packaging. And BTW, the lights worked out great. 49049

I received the product in a timely manner. The problems started with installation. I was replacing an existing, non-functioning light set and the wiring appeared to be identical. I made some temporary connections and the red rear lights seemed to work with all functions. However, after hard-wiring and installing all of the lights they failed to work. The package included a bar code to access some installation videos. Unfortunately, these videos did not address the specific product I had, so they were of no use. After hours of experimenting I called for support. Support was friendly and had a technician call me back. After a couple of minutes of chatting, he informed me that this kit would not work with aluminum trailers and that I would need to install a separate, dedicated grounding connecting from all devices. Would have been nice to know that in advance, and perhaps there should be products and packages specifically for aluminum trailers. 650091

Note this is made in China and not great quality. Should work fine but may not last. You will need a 10mm socket or box for the tail lights. 165583

Very easy installation! Had an issue with the running lights NOT working after installation. I emailed the team at etrailer.com and they helped me TROUBLESHOOT the problem. It was my vehicle. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to help me find the problem when the light kit installed perfectly the 1st time! Only took about 2.5 hours but that's because I was meticulous about all of the connections and sealing them in heat-shrink tubing for extra protection. 336652

One stop shop for a light overhaul, had to buy 2 smaller side lights to have the full set of lights needed to re-run all the lights and wires for my boat trailer, but this kit gave me 90% of what I needed. I did have water get into one of the boxes, but a little epoxy around the wires where they enter the box, and problem solved. Best use of a day during my vacation was re-running all of the lights. No more lighting issues every time I put the boat in. 233329

- How to Wire Clearance Lights for the Optronics Trailer Light Kit for Trailers Over 80" WideThe 2 black wires for the side marker lights that come with the Optronics Trailer Light Kit # TL16RK are used to power the lights. The clearance lights are actually designed to ground using the mounting hardware. If you check out the attached picture you can see that there is a metal strip that runs from an eyelet to where you will use your mounting hardware. So you will simply connect the black wire to the hole that won't be touching that eyelet. This is also addressed in the attached...

- Replacement Trailer Taillight Recommendation for a Featherlite Utility Trailer 1693I pulled up a picture of your Featherlite Trailer model 1693 and found that the taillights closely resemble what comes with the # TL16RK. The clearance lights of this kit are very similar to what you need as well so this would be a great starting point. For additional amber clearance lights you would need part # A91AB and then for red part # A91RB.
view full answer... - Does Each Light Need to be Grounded When Wiring Trailer LightsYes, all of the lights in the # TL16RK Waterproof, Over 80 inch Trailer Light Kit will need to be grounded. The white wires on the tail lights are attached to the trailer frame, and the chrome bases provide the ground to the trailer frame through the mounting hardware for the side marker lights. You will also need to attach the white wire from the trailer side 4-Way connector to the trailer frame to complete the installation. We have the a video detailing installation of the LED light...

- Difference Between Trailer Taillight Kits that are for Over 80 inches in Width and Under 80 inchesThere are different taillight requirements for trailers that are over 80 inches in width vs. ones that aren't over 80 inches in width. If you check out the link I attached you will see all of these differenced highlighted. The over 80 inch kits like the part # TL16RK typically come with additional clearance lights when compared to the under 80 kits like the # TL5RK. I attached review videos for both kits for you to check out.
view full answer... - How Do the Lights Mount in Trailer Tail Light Kit # TL16RKTrailer light kit # TL16RK mounts on the heads of the 4 bolts that came with the kit. There are slots on the backs of the lights and the lights will slide onto the bolt heads. There are actually 3 slots per light giving you some adjustability. The amber clearance lights mount through the included mounting brackets but you have to first pop the lights off to access the mounting holes. I have included a couple of pictures showing all of this for you.

- How Does Clearance Light Included with Trailer Light Kit part # TL16RK Wire to TrailerThe clearance lights of the # TL16RK are the part # A91AB with the bracket part # A91CB. The assembly grounds through the mounting hardware and the single wire part # A91LW that comes with it runs to the running light circuit of the trailer like you mentioned.

The trailer sided connector has a split running light signal that is run with each turn signal/brake light wire.

You will also want the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts, # APUBR-1. For suspension I suggest the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/8" Long, # SP-212275. You will then need a kit with mounts for your equalizers and shackle straps.

Trailer light kit # TL16RK comes with 2 additional reflectors, not lights, that you could place as needed. I was looking through the federal requirements for lights and reflectors for various types and size trailers and found that AMBER clearance or marker lights are not a requirement for the center rear of the vehicle but RED clearance lights are required.

The axle-less design gives you added clearance under your trailer. When using straight axles, the under trailer clearance for off road purpose can be an issue. The Timbren axles allow for more clearance down the middle of the trailer. You also need electric brake and hub and drum assemblies for these axles. I recommend the # AKEBRK-35R-SA...

You can use the Wesbar Wiring Harness # 002220 to replace the wiring on your 6 x 10 aluminum trailer. To complete the installation you will only need a Ring Terminal # DW05702-1 and Butt Connectors, part # DW05744-5 for 5 or part # DW05744-10 for 10.
