Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
Hey Nate, We do not have a 3/4" spindle nut or washer, the smallest option is the 7/8" spindle nut #165931and a 1" washer #SW1000. I cannot find anything smaller. Are you sure the threads on you're spindle are 3/4"? If they…
A trailer that is over 80 inches wide is required by DOT regulations to have rear clearance lights. An over 80 inch taillight kit, like part #TL16RK, will have the side clearance light built into it. An under 80 inch taillight does not have the…
I sure can Blake! I just heard back from Dexter and both of your axles are 3,500 lbs capacity. That's all the information they were able to provide. Here are the replacement parts you've requested: Hub/Drums - 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Nut Pattern item…
Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Hey Darren, the studs of the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB that you referenced are not designed to thread out of the assembly easily. You could take a cutting wheel to them and cut them off flush pretty easily though if you wanted to…
We do offer a wide variety of replacement lights for trailer but since trailer manufacturers don't keep a record of what they use on trailers I would need some pictures of the lights you are wanting to replace along with some measurements so I…
Hey Sal, the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB is for just 1, not set of 2. These are super nice, but if you want some other options to consider, we also have the Fusion LED Hardwired Trailer Light #OPT57NR which does have the same…
That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…

Clean, flat sides make rectangle trailer lights easy to mount and line up on fenders or frames. The red lens suits tail/stop/turn visibility on campers, utility rigs, and boat trailers. Choose what fits your setup, from LED or incandescent and submersible options, and match your plug style (including 3-prong triangular) while verifying a solid ground for reliable operation.
Yes, there are red rectangle LED lights with sonically sealed, waterproof housings for boat trailers. Verify they're submersible if you plan to dunk the trailer. Filling the pigtail sockets with dielectric grease can help keep water out. If you've had water get in and corrode an assembly before, double-check the housing seals and gaskets before launching.
Yes, some red rectangle LED tail lights use a 3-prong triangular pigtail connector. Match the triangular shape and pin style to your existing plug before ordering. If your driver's side needs a license plate light, confirm the new driver's-side assembly includes it.
Measure your current light's length, height, and depth, then compare to the new red rectangle light. Check driver vs. passenger side needs and whether a license plate light is required. If your old lens or wraparound style isn't available, updating to a similar-size LED assembly is a clean solution.
Start with the ground. Running a dedicated ground from the wiring harness to each light can help on bolted-together trailers. If the brake light works only when other lights are off, recheck the vehicle's grounding points and the light's mounting surface for a solid ground path.
