Very excellent replacement for older lights. Little bit of a long story, but it might help someone. I have an 04 Excursion that has always worked with my horse trailer lights, so I had no need to check them. Enter my 2022 F-150, and all the sudden my brake and turn signal trailer lights are doing weird and inconsistent things. Since they worked with the excursion, I figured the over engineered brains of the tow module in the F150 had to be the problem. When they didn’t work with a neighbors in between truck, I pulled the lights off the trailer and found they had no ground and were wired to the running and brake/turn wires instead.

I ordered two of these for a fit test before I bought all 4. I wish I would have just ordered all 4 because I am now very anxiously awaiting my second set. The halo running light is just such a cool look, and the turn/brake light is very bright. Much stronger than the old metal light casings I’m replacing even with led bulbs in them. I am a little worried about the casing being plastic on these, but they shouldn’t be exposed to abuse to flex it any, so it should be fine. Time will tell. I love that they are sealed watertight too. My old ones were not.



by:

Great product! My right brake/turn signal stopped working on my trailer, so I purchased a new ST70RB 6-1/2" oval trailer light, along with the wiring plug and grommet, installed them in about 30 min, and it works great! The package arrived quickly and was packed nicely. I found out my fuse was blown on my 2016 Traverse for the right trailer stop/turn signal, but that was most likely from the old light which I think was leaking. I didn't know there was a fuse just for that so I learned something new. I will definitely purchase trailer products again from etrailer.com!



by:

It's a must have when you use the Optronics trailer lights!! Works great! Don't know why it don't come with the light set up but that's OK, love the light!



by:

I have been dealing with e trailer for a long time and always get quality and quick shipping.



by:

this and the lights working perfectly a year later.



by:

With the trailer lights you really need this PIG TAIL. You can make it work, but this is so much easier and is water proof.
Picture is back side of the panel where the PIG TAIL is sticking threw. This will get coated with under coating when it all done.

Pigtail is holding strong and working great!

High quality part

Wiring is NOT conventional..
None of
the harness wires matched up to the flat 4 wiring.
Red was yellow green was brown etc.
And wiring or color ceding was included with the 7 pin harness



by:

My boat is garage kept when not in use however, after 29 years it was time to replace the trailering wiring with a new wishbone harness. Very easy to do and no more issues with lights not working. Good product at a reasonable price.



by:

I really like the bright back up lights. It does take a little extra work for the back up lights. - Sorry this pic doesn't show the backup/stop lights but this is the great little chuckwagon we put them on.



by:

Thanks for getting me the replacement part quickly.



by:

Excellent service, Fast shipping

I ordered more parts (lights for my motorcycle trailer) than really needed but now I have plenty of spares. These parts were exactly what I needed and were very reasonably priced. The shipping was quick and the order was filled correctly.

Great Job !!!

My trailer is still working great. Thanks.



by:

LED lights are the way to go. The reflective marker lights are great for times when the lights aren't on yet headlights will reflect off them letting the driver know there is something there. The only thing would be better on these lights would be a better ground.

Russ T.

Working well. One of the marker lights has a hard time keeping grounded.



by:

Pretty simple to get on etrailer. Try finding this socketed connector anywhere else without having to buy the entire enclosure. This is just one of about 24 items I have purchased from etrailer.com and even when i screw up they get me right.
They seem like very nice folks who care that you get what you need.

Never better, I have another trailer to rewire and etrailer is where I am going.

Arrived in record time, heavy duty copper wire as advertised and quality connectors. Would definitely buy again as needed and recommend to others.

Still working flawlessly....dependable.....

fits and works perfect



by:

pins are loose fit, and move around when and attempt is made to insert them. had to make numerous attempts at getting the pins in just the right position to make them mate to the socket.

quality plug and wire insulation. Once installed, they seem tight and secure with good electrical contact.

Professor L.

10/19/2012

I have installed several of these. They were ALWAYS a very snug fit, and sometimes slightly misaligned, which made them a little difficult to install the first time. I NEVER had one with loose pins. Loose pins? First time for everything, I guess!

Patrick B.

10/22/2012

Thanks for the comment! Sometimes there can be some wiggle room on the contacts, but typically on the light side. As long as the connections are good and solid, everything will function properly.


by:

Exactly what I needed. Delivery was on time and communications from eTrailer were excellent



by:

I ordered the STL101RB Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - LED to replace the standard tail lights on my Yamah Drive G19 golf cart. They replaced to stock ones perfectly as a neat way to add a backup lights for a custom feature. The backups led are actuated by the reverse switch on the dash.

It should be noted that the ground terminal on the two wire pigtail connection is not wired internally to the backup LEDs. They rely on the ground supplied by the three wire pigtail. Not a big deal, but worth noting. It throws a curve when bench testing.

These lamps add a nice custom touch!



by:

Used with Optronics Turn/Tail/Stop LED assembly: Not really much to say about a plug except that this one does what it should and has had no comebacks to spoil the project. Perfect pin alignment with firm pin fit to light assembly. Molded rubber plug body fits snugly into light housing but is easy to grasp and remove when necessary - a good balance of 'in forever' but 'removable if you need to'. No evidence of hardening, cracking, or deterioration of plug body.



by:

It is the right plug for what I needed it to be, I'm exited to finally recive the product and pretty fast shipping as well! Thank you



by:

I replaced the conventional lamps in my 1990 Peterbilt Midranger box truck. The change out was easy. The previous lamps were troublesome because of vibration, moisture / road salt, causing them to not light. I used these pigtails to plug into the LED lamps I purchased from eTrailer, to easily install the new lamps, splicing into the existing wiring harness in the truck. The thing to know, is the unique color coding: White is Ground, and has a convenient lug on it to attach under one of the mounting screws. Red is for the stop/turn signal, and Black is for tail lights.



by:

We needed something that could light the interior of the concession trailer while the generator was not running. So we installed this light inside to run off the trailer lights hook up. Provides plenty of light for clean up. Perfect fit for my application. Easy install.

  • Recommendations for installing a LED Trailer Light # STL35RB on a 2002 Ranger Trail Trailer
    This Miro-Flex, Waterproof, Rectangular, LED Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light # STL35RB that you referenced should work well with your trailer wiring. You will need a Straight 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PB to wire it into your trailer wiring. The red wire from this harness will run to the turn signal circuit, the black is the tail signal, and the white will ground to the trailer frame on a clean metal surface to complete the circuit.

  • Installation of STL75AB With Grommet
    At the end of the day you'll still have access to everything that is required to install the new lights since you're removing an existing light; this will allow you to make your electrical connections without any problems. There will always be a certain aspect of each installation that's going to be specific to each trailer and the process you've mentioned using I don't see any issues. If you're installing the # STL75AB then the correct grommet for that light is the # A70GB. You should...

This will make it so that you do not have any issues with brakes overriding the turn signals etc. If you don't already have the two connectors the light required you'll need (1) # A45CB and (1) # A45PB for each light.

  • LED Trailer Tail Light Recommendations for a Boat Trailer
    The Sealed, Miro-Flex, Thin Line, LED Lights, # MCL63CRB, are DOT approved as Trailer Marker, Clearance or ID Lights only, so you would not be able to use them as tail lights. A similar light in shape and size that would work for you is the Miro-Flex, Waterproof, Rectangular, LED Trailer Light, # STL33RB. You would also need a wiring harness like # A45PB, and a grommet, # A33GB. Or, if a rounded light is acceptable, you can go with # STL70RB, with wiring # A45PB and Grommet # a70gb.

  • Grommet And Wiring For Optronics STL72RB Light
    I took a look at your Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL72RB, and the only grommet I was able to find that fits this light, is the PVC Grommet for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Tail Lights # a70gb that you mentioned, unfortunately. Additonally, to complete install of # STL72RB you're also going to need either the Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights # A47PB or the 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights # A45PB, depending on the orientation needed.

  • Will the ST70RB and the STL72RB Both Fit on the Same Sized Light Housing?
    To answer your question, both of the # ST70RB and the # STL72RB are 6-1/2" long x 2-1/4" wide x 2-3/8" deep lights; the main difference is that one is an LED light while the other is an incandescent. I was able to find some information on your TruckLite 60283 light and the best match to replace that light is the # ST70RB , since your trailer light system is wired for incandescent lights. If you wanted to switch both lights over to LED, you would use # STL72RB but you would likely need...

  • 4 Inch Diameter Trailer Tail Light Options
    We do have a number of options for trailer tail lights that are 4 inches in diameter, although the standard for these lights is a 3-wire system: ground, turn signal, and tail light. Your lights may have grounded through the mounting hardware, but these lights will use a wire for that. The options I recommend are LED because they are going to last much, much longer and have a lesser power draw than incandescent lights - Peterson LumenX LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn # M824R-7...

  • Diameter of Hole Needed to Install the LED Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light # STL43RBX
    To install the # STL43RBX you'd need a hole diameter right at the size of 4-7/8 inches as that is the diameter of the portion of the light that would need to insert into the hole. The overall diameter is 5-3/4 inches. For a pigtail harness to wire up this light you then would want the part # A45PB.

    We do not have an exact match for a red round tail light like the Peterson Back Up Light, # 411SC, that you have referenced that is a flange mount. The closest flange mounted lights are going to be the Peterson round tail lights # 431800 and # 432000. For a flush mounted light, you could use # 429800 which may be more what you are looking for. We also have the Optronics brand flange mounts # STL42RB or # ST47RB. They use wiring harness # A45PB.

    The base or bezel used by the Bargman # 47-84-527 Double LED tailllight is constructed of hard plastic, like the other rectangular lamps of this type. If you click the provided links, you can see a product demonstration and an install video. For something with a flexible rubber mount, you'd be wanting a grommet mount lamp, like # STL70RB which would mount using the separately available # A70GB which would mount in a 6-11/16 x 2-5/8 inch rough opening and would use a # A45PB 3 prong plug.

It could be that the lights aren't connected, if they have never worked it could be that they were never connected initially.

    We would have no way of knowing a specific trailer light on any trailer, including your 1993 Heritage, so the best we can offer is to tell you how to determine you can use the Optronics Trailer Tail Light # ST70RB. Just measure your light, and if you get the same dimensions - 6-1/2" long x 2-1/4" tall x 2-3/8" thick - then you can use this light. It will also require 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PB or # A47PB.

The best way to confirm fit is to check the mounting hole locations. The mounting holes are 7 inches on center and 2-11/16 inches on center. I've attached a photo to assist.
