i figured this section would be the best bet for answers even though its not for a trailer, so forgive me for that. Anyways im going to add an extra set of brake/tail lights to my rear bumper since it kinda covers the stock lights. im looking for flush mount lights around 3 inch diameter. Just wondering what most of u guys are using in your builds, how u like them, and where u got them. Obviously less expensive is better as i might smash them eventually. Ive looked at the one at tractor supply.....where else would be go to look? thanks in advance guys

a 3" brake light is going to be hard to find, you would be better off using a 4" that goes into a press fit gromet that will mount in a 4.5" hole. easy to replace, easy to install, you just need the right size hole saw. Also you can get them in LED so they are bright and dont burn out.

ya i was looking at that, problem is my bumper is only 4 inches tall so i cant use something that big. i think im gunna go with some led long oval/rectangular lights(like 2inchs X 4 or 5 inches). now just to find the best price on a set

6" oval are the only oval shaped lights I've seen. They are 6" long and about 1.5" or so high, and are also grommet mounted.

ya length really isnt much of a factor as height is. just want to get something half decent that can atleast getting put in some water. alot of them that im seeing are submersible so thats a big plus
