Default New Brake Lights!

Well after years of broken, water logged lights I hope these new ones will last a while!!

There are no connections that go in the water!! There is a small amount of wire in the water but no connections.

Those are nice. Are they LED or conventional bulb type?

LEDS? Definately will last a long time as long as no one thinks they will look better on their trailer.

Super sweet looking. I don't have the guides on my trailer so I went with the square submersible LED's. Time will tell if I should have gone with the guides. I love the raised lights, both for keeping the lights out of the water and also for the increased visibility they provide for following drivers on the road. Are they a kit or do they come that way from the factory?

Default Red light district...

I just readjusted a trailer and lost access to where the brake lights mounted. I was thinking to place them on the fenders but I like this much better. I bet those guides help the guy behind you at the public launch get to the ramp a little quicker.

Thank Guys!!

lights are bulbs not LED,

I got the lights from fleabay also.

I bought the guide on's online for about $75, the lights fit 2" PVC, but I just bought some PVC reducers and made them fit 1 1/2. They are nice and bright!!
