Hi Joel,

Regretfully, the Wesbar 271594 and 271595 have been discontinued so we don't have an exact replacement for them. What we can do is try to match the size and features of the taillights to what we do have to find a close match. That makes our best option the Optronics LED Taillight for Trailers Over 80" part # STL37RB for the driver's side and part # STL36RB for the passenger's side. The Wesbar taillights are 7" long x 3-3/4" tall x 3" deep and the Optronics taillights are 7 7/8" long x 3 1/4" tall x 2 7/8" deep so it'll be almost an inch longer but only slight differences for the other dimensions. I've included a diagram with all the dimensions, including the spacing of the holes for installation so you can compare.

Where do you take your boat out the most? Lakes? The ocean?

I installed these on my 1999 Ranger Trailer and they work fine.

@Don Glad to hear it! Taillight styles come and go quick frequently so having to swap out to another style or shape is pretty common.

Hi Claire, I finally made the decision and bought the STL36RB. If that fits, I will buy the driver side also. i’m writing to you because I want to thank you for putting in the extra effort to help me find the right trailer tail light. I had put in hours trying to find the right light before working with you. I started to complete the customer survey but found it absolutely ridiculously long and did not complete it. I hope your manager is able to see this email to see how you’ve made me such a satisfied customer. I hope. you have a great day. Joel Grady

@JoelG Thank you so much for your kind words, Joel! :) I'm always happy to help and if this light doesn't work out for you please let me know so I can try and track down an alternative.
