Wireless tail lights. What will they think of next. I would have given more than 150 for lights that night.

P.S. Ez loaders wiring is a joke.

There ya go boys, that right there is what I'm talking about and why these are a great idea!

I did a Baja road trip many years back to where my lights quit working on the way home, and let me tell you, these would have saved me alot of stress and trouble.

I see these things as being used two ways........ one for the guy that maybe wants to use them as his main lighting purpose, and second, for the guy that wants a good back-up and a quick and easy go to for working lights in a pinch....... kinda like carrying a portable battery jump starter.

Buy the West Marine Led's and pay the extra $6.00 for the life time warranty.They will replace them no matter what happens to them. Just pick up all the pieces after that A-Hole in the parking lot hits them. I think the wireless ones would be great for a back up set if you were on long road trip.

I think they have their use. Seems no matter what I do, I go through a set of lights per year. I tow quite a bit off paved roads and wash board hurts everything on a trailer. Pull these off before the dirt and put them in the cab. Might be a good idea to just have them around. I sometimes pull 400 miles a weekend. Good back-up.

My EZ loader lights only lasted about 10 months on my new trailer.
I called EZ Loader and after bitching to them, they sent me a new pair.

These wireless lights are just running lights? They don't show breaking or turn singles? Can you still get pulled over? I'm thinking of picking up a pair and toss in the truck for the reason Mike said.

Cool Thanks for the info. Definatly a great backup for your normal running lights in my opinion.

Hi Warren,

I guess the lesson that I have learned since I have had these lights is, even if you don't use them all the time, it would be nice to have a set "Just in Case". I use to haul a back hoe years ago and I was always having problems with those lights on the tiger line trailer. Sure wished I had a set of these back then. I found myself even going into a hardware store (at night) and buying two flashlights and some red plastic film to put on the lenses and put them on the trailer just to get home. It always seemed like I had most of the trailer lighting problems in the winter when it was -20.
