Specs:
The waterproof construction of these lights make them ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. Each circuit board is sealed, which means that water will not damage the diodes or circuit board.
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.
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.

Speaker 1: Today we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Optronics waterproof, over-80-inch LED trailer light kit with a wiring harness, part number TLL16RK.Here's what our lights look like installed. As you can see, our taillight function is exceptionally bright and illuminates our license plate very nicely, making sure we're safe and legal as we're towing our trailer at night. Our license plate bracket is made of plastic, so we don't have to worry about it corroding or rusting out over time.One of the things that sets these lights apart from other options on the market is that these are waterproof LED assemblies. By being waterproof, they're a great solution for boat trailers such as this one. And by being LED the lights themselves are a lot brighter, they draw less power from your towing vehicle, and they last a lot longer. There's no brittle filaments inside like incandescent light fixtures, where you're gonna have to worry about the bulb breaking as you're driving over rough terrain.
These last up to 50 times longer than your standard incandescent lights.As you can see, our kit comes with light assemblies for both the driver and passenger side of your trailer. These lights are DOT-approved, and they have several reflectors built into them to help drivers know where you're at even if you have your lights turned off. You'll still have light reflecting off of your reflectors to alert them of your presence.Now we'll test out our trailer wiring. We'll start out with testing out our taillights. We'll do our left brake light now, followed by our right.
To begin our install, we routed our wires down our trailer frame. We made sure we left enough slack at the front where our four-pole connector is, to be able to connect to our towing vehicle. We went down the channel of the frame of our trailer on each side. Our yellow and brown wire is on the left or the driver's side. And we took our green and brown wire and went down the right or passenger's side of our trailer.Our trailer has these grommets that we can run the wires through to secure them into place.
Yours may not have that, so you may need to find an alternative method to secure the wiring so they don't drag on the ground. Our trailer has a removable tongue, so our white wire is our ground wire. We need to attach this to our trailer's frame. But since we have a removable tongue we want to be able to still remove it if need be, we're going to attach our ground wire further back the actual frame. So in order to do that, we'll need to extend the wire.Strip back some insulation.
Take a heat-shrink butt connector that we have available on our Website. This is a 14- to 16-gauge connector. And crimp it. We'll take some extra 16-gauge wire. We put this up on our Website as part of our 16-1-1, sold by the foot. You may or may not need it, depending on your application. Put that in the butt connector. And we'll crimp it.And now we use a heat gun to shrink down our butt connector. You'll want to use a heat gun over using a lighter or torch, because this is a source of indirect heat and not a direct, open flame. An open flame will damage the connector.And now we'll take some electrical tape and tape up our wiring harness here, running down the length of it. This will help protect the wires and keep them from pulling apart. Okay, we wrapped our core pole all the way down to where our channel splits off into the A. This will give us a nice, clean look and help protect our wiring. And now we'll put zip ties on to secure our wiring. That way, if we need to remove our tongue of our trailer, all we have to do is cut the zip ties off and we don't have to worry about the wires staying with the channel.Now our white wire here is our ground wire. We need to attach this to our trailer frame. As discussed earlier, we need to go in our A frame. We're gonna need to do it right in this area here on the permanent part of our frame, not the removable tongue. Measure off how much we're gonna need. Trim off the excess. And we'll strip back some insulation.Now we're gonna use the ring terminal that comes in the kit. I'm gonna use one that we have available on our Website. This one has a yellow plastic sleeve over it for 10- to 12-gauge wire. It's got a small hole here where we can put a self-tapping screw in to secure it.Now we'll drill a pilot hole for our self-tapping screw. Now we'll take our self-tapping screw, insert it through the ring terminal, and go into our pilot hole. That gives us a nice, solid ground.And we have our driver-side taillight assembly since we're on the driver's side. We can tell it's the driver's side because we have a yellow wire and the clear spot at the bottom for our license plate light. We'll now pass our wires through these three slots here so they don't get pinched. Take our bolts and slide them through this slot and this slot. Our ground wire with the ring terminal in it will slide over this stud here. And we'll take our other two wires and go through the slot here.So they'll look like this once it's done. We'll pass our two wires, the yellow and the brown one, through this hole here. And our bolts will go through these two holes here.Now we'll take our license plate bracket, place it over our bolts, place on our lock washers and then our nuts, and now we'll tighten down the hardware. And now we're gonna measure off how much of our yellow and brown wire that we're gonna need that we brought back from the front and we'll cut off the excess. We will then separate those two wires and strip back insulation from both ends.We'll now take our heat shrink butt connectors, place them on our wires. We repeated this same process on the passenger's side of the trailer. We only have two differences on the passenger's side from the driver's side. The first one being, instead of having a yellow wire for our turn signal and brake light, we have a green wire. So we match the two green wires up together with our butt connector.The other difference being we don't have to worry about having a license plate bracket on the passenger's side. That's only on the driver's side. We went ahead and attached our license plate to our license plate bracket using some of our own supplied bolt, washers, and nuts.And that completes our inaudible 00:07:37 in showing you how to install the Optronics waterproof over-80-inch LED trailer light kit with wiring harness, part number TLL16RK.

Surface mount - hardware included. 3-Wire pigtail. 25' Wiring harness.Thank you Shawn B the package arrived as you said and I am grateful. 615851
Works well but id prefer the wires to be longer and packaged more secure. One of the 3 tabs on the package were unsecured and the 2 taillights were it contact with one another. Luckily no damage. this could've happened when USPS threw the package over my front gate when delivering 627975
As advertised 619599
You guys amaze me! Ordered boat trailer led lights and harness 9-26. It shipped two hours later and I installed it with no problem Friday 9-29. Everything perfect. Installed within 72 hours of ordering. My third purchase this year and I’ll be back! Thank You!!!!!! A very satisfied customer. 570037
I was very impressed with ETRAILER.com. I ordered this online on a weekend and immediately received an email confirmation. Item was shipped within 24 hrs and I received it a few days later. Very happy with ease of installation and the lights work perfectly. thanks! 56278
Still love the lights after more than a year. Best lights I have had on a trailer in more than 40 years of boating.
Photokrohn - 04/29/2014Love them, best lights I have ever owned, in 40 years owning a boat trailer.
photokrohn - 05/16/2014Do you know what gauge wiring the harness is?
-- comment by: Dan M - 06/19/2014According to my contacts at Optronics this kit contains 20 gauge wiring.

Rachael H - 6/23/2014If you are upgrading to LED , make sure to check you current trailer wiring. This is a 5 pin flat connector with a short piece of wire for the ground. 2 -left /2 -right... The LED lights require 3 wires...hence you have to attach the white remaining wire (short piece with an wire lug) to the trailer frame or run an additional wire for ground... 372047
The LEDs arrived very quickly. They were a perfect fit for the old incandescents they replaced making the installation quick and easy. Thank you! 131860
They are still working perfectly! Great not having to worry about my trailer lights while i tow my boat
Terry P - 05/22/2015Product will be installed on an old sailboat trailer. I ordered new wheels/tires previously from etrailer and that was excellent. These lights are exactly what I need for re-wiring and adding new lights. The "how to" video on the website is an excellent resource. Ordering and delivery was terrific. The package was sent, I received an email and tracking information, the product was delivered timely, and etrailer followed up with an email. Excellent product and service. 729899
Not put on yet just received today..but looks like a great purchase 728391
So far so good great value still working great after a year. no submerged issues. FYI good ground is key to any trailer lighting. 715916
Thanks for this 1 year review opportunity. My purchased was changing all my boat trailer lights to LED. They are working excellently with no problems. I think they are better than what I see on newer boat trailers. Thanks for your excellence advice, service and prompt shipping. 706821
Nice product. Easy install. Still working great 679193
Fast shipping, great packaging, reasonable pricing! What more could you ask for?! 670235
Product was as described. Installation was quick and harness length was plenty for my 12 foot landscape trailer. Led lights looked awesome In daylight! Good product under initial install. 656713
Very happy with the product works as supposed to with no issues. 655565
Good kit with all the connections you would expect. Nice light output and no having to clean corrosion every year to get them working. Or have spare bulbs Incase you forget to unplug the lights and let them cool.before backing in the water. 654617
nice clear and bright light set 651343
Wanted to replace the cheap one bulb tail and brake lights on my fifth wheel for safety and visibility. These LED lights did the trick. Very bright even on sunlight 642967
Installation was fast and easy. Great p roduct. 616269
The Led lights are a huge improvement over the bulb lights I replaced. I gave this a 4 star because the ground wire on the wiring harness was really short ant I had to add some wire to be able to plug it into my truck. 601626
Excellent 596221
I just received these lights as replacements for a 1992 Escort boat trailer, I spend time every spring trying to get the trailer lights working. i'm pretty sure these are going to do away with that issue plus provide brighter lights with less power draw. It's a later on this winter project so time will tell. I couldn't beat the price or free shipping so I had to go ahead and get them, ordered on a Wednesday night and on my doorstep by noon that Saturday. I'll be ordering some more parts from here in the near future 587865
Installation was simple everything was included 568111
Perfect fit and very easy installation. Works fine and package had everything what was needed. Lights a bright enough. 565935
Great set of lights...Exactly what we were looking for. They are bright and were easy to install. 562413
The original lighting on the trailer had been banged up pretty good. Decided it was time to update, was an easy replacement of the wiring and the light fixtures. The lights have worked flawlessly! 561930
Good quality 559310
PRODUCT SHIPPED AND DELIVERED QUICKLY. PACKAGING SECURE AND APPROPRIATE SIZE FOR ITEMS. REPLACED LIGHTS ON 18 YEAR OLD BOAT TRAILER - INSTALLED EASILY AND LOOKS GREAT. RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND ETRAILER. 558274
Bought as a gift for my Brother's boat trailer. No issues on the retrofit, worked first time. 549210
Trailer lights are nice and bright. And still look new after a year in the sun. I would definitely buy them again and buy from etrailer again they’re great. 543233
Still working great. Haven’t had any issues out of them
Robert - 07/18/2019I give the product a good rating So far. I'm not finished yet but it's coming along. The negative to me is the instructions. First is the size of printing (small and unreadable) of the combined picture of the trailer and electrical schematic (2" x 1"). It is very hard to follow and understand. Helpful tips would be a good idea. The added rear light bar I ordered needs some attention as to mounting and wiring. I think once I get through with the wiring and assembly I will be happy. All the lights and mounting technique seems well done. 540044

-- Mike L - 07/11/2018Easy installation,lights are very bright,Seem to be holding up well.No complaints here. 539827
These LED lights are plenty bright as expected. Best of all, the package came quickly. Another good purchase from the etrailer folks. 530100
I purchased this light set from etrailer on the 6-18, they were shipped on 6-19 via UPS and arrived on 6-26 via USPS . etrailer price was cheaper than I could find it locally. 527550
These look solid. Exactly what I was looking for. Best price I could find. 516072
I have received Items as it shows, it is unfair for me to review this product yet as have not had chance to install. It seems at this time I will have to make minor modification as the way it is it is to mount to something that you would have access to both sides. I will be mounting to the back of a travel trailer. After taking the light apart there is no holes for mounting to flat service. 514900
Good product. Worked as it should. Easy install as well 508880
I received my lights days before shipping date. These lights are well made & the lifetime guarantee is a no brainer. etrailer is outstanding. 504169

Very easy to order and I got it much quicker than I thought possible. Let’s just hope these trailer lights help me catch more fish. Thanks for getting the order to me so quick. 490220
Great product 488962
Awesome ; service etc. 469931
Easy to install and will look good for many years. All I've bought from etrailer has been exactly as described on the website so planning a trailer build was easy. 468463
Product was shipped quickly. Easy to install. Works great! etrailer provided installation instructions and was ready to answer questions. Thanks. 458200
Good solution to my boat trailer lights. Fit perfectly and were shipped and received promptly. 450988
I received my package yesterday and everything looks to be in order ,haven't installed the lights on my boat trailer yet, but they look good and were delivered in a timely manner , thanks,, look forward to doing business again with etrailer soon , Cecil 446867
Nice bright lights! Easy to install. These units on my 2002 trailer replaced Wesbar units of almost the same size and the mounting holes were the same size and pitch. The old incandescent Wesbar lights would have been easier to replace with LED units from the same manufacturer as they had quick connection plug-ins in the harness. The new ones did not and I had to cut out the plugs from the harness and solder the wires together. I did not replace the wiring harness with the one that was supplied but will keep it for a spare for the future. The light assemblies have openings in the back face. It would have been nice if they were completely sealed to keep out mud and water thrown up from the trailer wheels. This will require that you remove the lens from time to time to clean them. This is a problem that caused me to be pulled over by police for dim lights last year. Hopefully the brighter LED's will prevent this. All in all, a nice product for the price though. 438545
Wow! ordered on Tuesday, received it on Thursday. It doesn't get much better than that! I will definitely use etrailer again for any of my trailer repairs. Great service....great prices. THANK YOU!!! 430148
