Tail Lights

I have the standard tail lights on my TT? They are boring and not very conspicuous. Are there options? What can I get instead??? :@

  • I would change out the lights to an LED fixture instead of getting just the bulbs. I added an extra set to our new 5th wheel. All trailers are set up different but you can find some place to put an extra set I'm sure.

    Just be aware what Tail lights and associated LENS you change to has to meet the STATE DOT SAFETY requirements. The DOT controls all of the RV Safety lights that are used on the public roadways.

    You may not pass your local State Inspection with non-DOT approved tail lights...

    I would check with your local DMV OFFICE before putting a bunch of monies into the change-out...

    Just saying...

  • There are a lot of LED options. I went to Harbor Freight and bought their LED trailer lights then took them apart trimmed them to fit and installed the inside my trailer lens.
