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…
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…
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.…
Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the mounting holes on the TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light #TN42XR (driver side) and #TN62XR (passenger side) are exactly the same as the Wesbar 271595 tail light. They are 2" apart…

Make reversing and night loading easier with trailer lights built for backup use. Wire them to a reverse circuit so they switch on only in reverse, or to a running light circuit for constant light; be mindful that rear-facing white lights on while driving forward can be illegal. Handy on boat ramps, campgrounds, and driveways when you need extra light behind the trailer.
Yes, they brighten up the rear for loading and unloading in the dark and illuminate ramps and driveways when backing up. Some are much brighter than stock trailer lights and make backing up easier in the dark. Lumen output may not be listed, so consider using more than one fixture if you want extra coverage.
Yes, you can wire backup lights to any circuit you want. If tied to the reverse circuit they only power in reverse; on a running light circuit they'll stay on with your lights. It is illegal almost everywhere to have rear-facing white lights on while driving forward on public roads. Mounting on the side is fine so long as none of the light is visible from the rear.
Confirm the mounting method. Some watertight lights have no screw holes, so plan for a grommet or flange mount and avoid trying to remove a sealed lens. Check clearance for any protrusion around the connecting wires. Rubber gaskets or washers can help relieve jarring, reduce plastic fatigue, and keep the bar from bending. Avoid drilling an oversized hole in the cross beam.
They can. Some install as direct replacements and plug right in with a matching female plug. Check that the light's shape matches your opening and that the connector style is the same. A soft rubber gasket can make the fit watertight and the swap easy, whether you're replacing dim flush-mounted incandescent lights or upgrading both sides together.
