Question:

Will the CE Smith Trailer light protector CE 2605A1A work with the CE Smith tail light bracket CE26057AA to provide a sturdy tail light mount. I have a light that would fit in the protector, but no bracket for mounting the protector itself, if it can’t be attached to a right angle bracket. It looks like this combination could work but I cannot tell from the photos. My original tail light set up was very flimsy and met with some fatal road debris, so Im seeking a less flimsy alternative.
