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…
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.
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 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…
No, it is not plug and play Paul but it can be. The TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light item #TN62XR passenger side and item #TN42XR driver's side use a 3-Prong PL-3 Plug like item #TN47PV. These lights measure 7-1/2" long x…
Hey Rick. Unfortunately that's correct the Wesbar Tail Light 271594 has been discontinued. Our best option for replacing it is the LED Trailer Tail Light item #STL36RB for the passenger side and item #STL37RB for the driver side. The Wesbar light…
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…
Custer Rectangle Trailer Lights for Clear Visibility
Custer rectangle trailer lights keep your rig visible and make straightforward replacements for clearance or side markers. The rectangle shape matches common cutouts and narrow lips, and some options are submersible for boat trailers. Plan for hardware: certain surface-mount styles use a snap-in bracket and single-wire lead that aren't included, while sealed designs may not need a gasket.
Yes, some Custer rectangle lights are described as waterproof and have been used underwater while staying bright. Check the listing for a waterproof or submersible note before you buy. If you run wiring into a wall, seal the hole with silicone to help prevent water getting in.
Not always. Some lights arrive without hardware, wiring, or a surface-mount bracket. Confirm whether a snap-in bracket or base plate is needed and if it's included. If a surface bracket isn't available, look for a compatible snap-in style and verify the required wiring lead.
Use mechanical fasteners if the adhesive won't hold on curved or rough spots. Test the area first; slightly curved or textured surfaces can lift the edges. On flexible areas like mud flaps, position the reflector and add screws or rivets to keep it secure.
They can, but the fit needs to be exact. Some lights are designed to press into a rubber gasket between the light and the fender, and even a slight size difference can stop the install. If switching to a grommet style, match the correct grommet and wiring harness for the light body.
