This galvanized bracket set is designed to make mounting your trailer lights easier and to allow quick removal when needed. This is especially useful for boat trailers – by removing the lights before submerging the trailer, you protect them from water damage and corrosion. The Galvanized Trailer Light Bracket Set with Wing Nuts includes two metal brackets that attach to the trailer’s frame or cross-members and serve as a base for your square tail lights. Once installed, the tail lights are secured to these brackets using wing nuts that can be tightened or loosened by hand.
The galvanized coating ensures the brackets have a long service life even under harsh conditions – they resist rust, mud, stone impacts, and other environmental effects during travel. The design is universal and fits most square light assemblies of standard size. Installation doesn’t require special skills: the brackets use pre-drilled holes and bolts to attach firmly, and then the lights bolt onto the brackets.
- Protects Your Lights: By removing the entire light panel (mounted on these brackets) before backing your trailer into water, you extend the lifespan of your electrical components. This is especially important for standard bulb-based lights that aren’t fully sealed – with this bracket set, you can easily take them off to avoid short circuits or socket corrosion.
- Stable on the Road: When the wing nuts are tightened, the brackets hold the lights securely in place. Even on bumpy roads or with vibration, the lights won’t wobble or fall off.
- Flexible Use: The set is useful not only for boat trailers but for any trailers where light removal is needed – for example, if you use one set of lights for multiple trailers, or if you store your trailer in a location where you prefer to keep the lights indoors for safekeeping.
- Quick Installation: The included hardware and straightforward design make installing the brackets fast. Simply bolt them onto the rear frame of the trailer, position your lights on them, and tighten the wing nuts.
- Compatibility: Optimized for our square trailer lights (e.g., product code 01534 and the kits 01546-1/3), these brackets can also work with other brands as long as the mounting hole spacing is compatible. The galvanized finish has a silver appearance that blends well with the zinc-plated finish common on many trailer parts.
