Trailer kit with 2 stud-mount, submersible tail lights; corrosion-resistant license-plate bracket; 2 amber side marker and clearance lights; 25' wiring harness with 4-pole connector; mounting hardwareReally cheap.
These lights are marketed as submersible, but based on what's in the package I'm really dubious.
The lens bodies are not sealed. As you can see My photo, each lens body has a clearance hole for the wire - No gasket, and plenty of room around the wire, So water will definitely flood in and submerge the contacts and bulb/socket If you put these on a boat trailer.
Additionally, to Make the wire connections. They give you wire nuts. For submersible wire connections, at the very least, you should use crimp butts wrapped in tape - or better yet a heat shrink crimp butt. But they give you wire nuts, which aren't even really stable against vibration, let alone moisture.
It does say 3-year warranty on the package, however, so I guess I'll be testing that out.
Put these on an old boat trailer. Came out great. I got some white 16 gage stranded wire to carry the ground out to each mounting place. Helps the lights stay on even when stuff gets rusty.
The light kit works great now; however, after much sweat & experimenting. Initially, I couldn’t get any of the lights to work, then I sanded away the paint where the lights attached to get good grounds from each light bolt/screw. At that point, 1 light worked perfect while the rest remained very dim. After changing wires & tow vehicles to verify it wasn’t something wrong with that connection, I found an etrailer post about running separate ground wires from each light directly to the ground connection coming from the tow vehicle. After another run to Lowe’s & several more feet of wire - it worked. Finally!! I don’t deal with this stuff regularly so this was like looking for an electric needle in a haystack. During this process, I called etrailer & they were good enough to get ready to send me a replacement light set, thinking this one was defective. Fortunately, I didn’t need it.
This is a pretty standard trailer light package. The price was good and the equipment works great. I would recommend this product. It comes with electrical clips that are garbage though so I would recommend doing something different for you connection health. Overall, I have saved it for the next time my tire explodes going down the road and takes out my lights just for added injury to my night. (lol)
Rewired my 8x4 bed trailer, and chose these fo mo betta rain proof. EZ wiring, they're working fine!

Ok, had an issue with the bulb socket for brake and turn signal. Those socket designs date back to the stone age. Hard to set the bulb for proper electrical contact. Badly needs an updated design.
This is an excellent product and simple to install. As long as you have a functioning plug-in on your vehicle you’ll be happy.
Time will tell how well it holds up to water and vibration

I’ve since pulled my boat to the lake with the trailer that I installed this lighting harness on. I unplug the lights before I back down the boat ramp to assure I don’t short out the system. Other than that I am still satisfied and would recommend these to anyone. Simple to install
Easy installation, works the way it sho uld.
The quality of these are better than the factory lights that came on the trailer originally. They're even brighter even though they use the same kind of bulbs as the original factory lights. The price was reasonable too.
Work great and good price
Great kit! Includes front marker lights, splice connectors, wire support clips. Just about everything. The only things missing would be red splice connectors for tying in the taillights. Just a suggestion, it would be great if the ground wire was a little longer, and a bigger eyelet for the ground.
Have not yet installed the lights but the system is complete well built.
EZ to install.
Great website, great communication, and fast shipment!
Thanks ETrailer for making my boat trailer restoration a success . I restored a 1960 boat trailer to look brand new with your help.
The lighting system performed well in traveling from NY to northern Michigan and return to carry an old boat back for restoration.
Trailer lights worked out great. Thanks for great products. I will definitely buy from etrailer again.
I replaced old broken trailer lights and wiring with this kit. Had everything needed to complete the task. Lights were exact fit for old lights. Everything went smoothly
I wanted the LED trailer light set, however it was out of stock and eTrailer offered this as a lower priced substitute. It serves the purpose and bulb grease has kept the bulbs working, occasionally, since I have not used the trailer very often.
Good prices
Quick delivery
Products are as described
Everything worked great. Thanks
haven't installed yet but quick delivery
I was looking for something cost efficient and good quality and I found it. I put the lights on a 62 Willys pick up I'm renovating. Work perfectly !
Not much to comment on because I haven't even opened the package but I installed one of the same kits on another trailer and it's hels up and works great.
I had to replace the lights on my utility trailer. The Kit came complete with easy to follow directions. Everything matched up perfectly almost plug and play. It took about 3 hours to remove the old lights and install the new ones. The only extra thing I had to purchase was extra white ground wire. The length that came with the kit was a little short. All other wire was more than ample length. That is why it got 4 stars other than that minor thing it would have gotten 5 stars. I am not a big user but the people at e-trailer are professionals with great follow up. This is the 2nd time that I used them and I do not hesitate to recommend the company and people.
