Question:
I have Bass Buggy trailer for an 18 Bass Buggy Appx 18-20 years old. I need to replace the 4 pin wiring harness, 2 tail lights and license plate bracket. What product combinations do you suggest. I do want submersible lights. Thanks for your consideration.

Hey Ghent, I took a look at your trailer and it looks like they use square taillights, so something like the Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights # TLL160RK should work fine but I'd recommend measuring your current light first.
These lights measure 8 1/16" long, 2 7/8" tall, are submersible, and has a 3 wire pigtail for easy install. This kit comes with both the left and right sides and has the stop, turn, tail, side marker, side reflex, rear clearance, and rear reflex functions built in, These also have a built in license plate light to illuminate your license plate.
Speaking of which, since you mentioned you also needed a replacement bracket, the Trailer License Plate Mount Bracket, Angled, Rust Proof Polymer # LP10SB will work great!
Finally, for a replacement 4-pin harness, you can use the Wesbar 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness # 002220 which is 20' long which should be long enough for your 18' trailer.

Hey Ghent, how did the Optronics LED tail lights and wiring harness work out on your Bass Buggy trailer? Those submersible lights should make a big difference when launching or loading. Your update could make it easier for others working on older trailers like yours.
