Recommended Protection for my 440 Style Tailights the Lenses Keep Breaking When They Hit the Wall

Question

Question:

Are either/or both of these WE68FR or LG440NP deep enough to protect the lens from the back? My trailer has the lights at the very back and we are breaking lens pushing it against the back wall of our shed. Im getting tired of buying new lenses - thanks!

Expert Reply:

Of the two options the Light Guard part # LG440NP is the way to go. It gives solid all around protection and does extend past the light offering protection for the lens.

Check out the attached photo showing how the light fits into the housing and the protection you get.
