Proper lighting on your vehicle is very important. This is not only applicable to your car, but also to your trailer. Good lighting is at the heart of safety. Additionally, it is legally mandatory to equip your trailer with good trailer lights. Your trailer needs to be equipped for instance, with two proper functioning amber indicator lights, an illuminated number plate, two triangular red reflectors, two red brake lights and if your trailer is more than 1.3 meters wide you need at least one red fog light. Side note, to illuminate your number plate, one or two number plate lights are mandatory, for which an 'E' marked light is required. Finally, all trailers built after September 30th 1990 require front reflectors. In addition to that, the front reflectors must have front position lights (clear lens) if the trailer is more than 1.6 meters wide. Is the rear trailer lighting not functioning properly? Then you risk a heavy fine. Make sure to replace any failing trailer lighting part as soon as possible. At Winparts you will find a wide range of trailer taillights. Below we will further explain which types of rear trailer lights exactly are available. We will also explain what you should pay attention to when purchasing rear trailer lights.
Important characteristics for buying a trailing taillight
There are different types and variants of rear trailer lights available. Bumped on to something by accident which resulted in a broken rear trailer light? Make sure you replace it as quickly as possible, especially if you have to get on the road again soon. At Winparts you are able to order a new trailer taillight easily. Where you should pay attention to if you want to order a rear light for your trailer? You’ll learn that here.
What you should pay attention to when purchasing a rear trailer light is, among other things, the size. If you replace one lamp, it must, of course, be of the same model as the old one. In addition to the model, please also pay attention to the connection. There are different pin-connections available, so always check these carefully.
After you’ve filtered the range to a final selection, then it’s time to focus on the type of light. You can either choose from traditional light bulbs, but also choose a more modern LED rear trailer light. LED trailer lights have several advantages, such as longer burn time, they are more solid (so they break less quickly) and they get less hot overtime. Another advantage is that LED rear trailer lights are often suitable for multiple currents, from 9 to 36 volts. This makes them suitable for practically any type of trailer. At Winparts you can easily filter trailer taillights on type such as a light bulb or LED light.
Trailer taillight glass
Is not the entire trailer rear light broken but only the rear light glass? Luckily in most cases, there´s no need to replace the entire taillight. Therefore, we offer also separate rear light glass. At Winparts you can find a wide range of taillight glasses suitable for basically any trailer light type. Simply use the filter, select ´rear light glass´ as application and the suitable range of products are displayed. To prevent your taillight glass from breaking due to a small collision, you can also install rear light protection. This is a housing that can be placed over your taillight, making it less prone to break.
