Need new taillights for your trailer? We've got tips!

Did you recently buy a trailer or want to upgrade its lighting? Good taillights are essential—not just for safety but also to meet legal requirements. Let's take a look at what you need to get your trailer properly illuminated for the road!

The mandatory reflective triangle

Did you know that every trailer must have a reflecti ve triangle on the rear? This ensures visibility, even in the dark. You can choose a separate triangle, but there are also taillights that include it.

Which taillights should I choose? There's so much choice!

Taillights come in different versions, so before purchasing a set, it's important to determine which features you need. Not all lights can be used interchangeably on both sides. For example, a dynamic turn signal must be on the correct side. Typically, the fog light is placed on the left, while the reverse light is on the right.

Available taillight options:

3 functions (standard)

• Taillight + reflector

• Brake light

• Turn signal

4 functions

Standard functions + license plate lighting

5 functions

Standard functions + license plate lighting and fog light 

What do I need to connect a taillight?

Before getting started, check whether you have a 7-pin or 13-pin connection. This is crucial, as it determines which cables and plugs you need. Fortunately, cables can easily be ordered by the meter—super convenient!

Want to make installation even easier? Go for a plug & play connection set. This saves you time and ensures a hassle-free setup.
