Review on 🌊 Waterproof Warranty Grommets by Nilight TL 01 by Dave Hock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made - good price - would buy again

I bought these to replace same sized lights when converting my 6x12 truck/motor trailer. Easy to install into existing slots. Fits perfectly. Very bright. Significantly improved over the original lights. So much so that I bought headlights again in the same style, only in a transparent form, for reversing lights on the same trailer. I had to cut two new grooves in the back of the steel tag which was no easy task. Offer to lay out and cut a trial slot on a piece of scrap metal before cutting it up in your trailer. I have found that a 2-5/8" hole saw works better for the bushing and jig than the recommended 2-1/2" hole. The slot height was 6-5/8 inches, which worked well. An angle grinder with a cutting wheel was used to cut the sides of the oval cutouts between the two holes. Inserting the light into the hub is made easier by using a small amount of 3-in-1 oil on the inner circumference of the hub. Electrical connections are made with Ancor crimp butt connectors with shrink ends. Made for a nice setup. Very bright, highly visible LED lights. Reliable. Highly recommended. I will definitely buy them again. UPDATE 1/25/2021: Red and white (transparent) light are slightly different. I expected them to be the same. Red light grommets are made of harder rubber/plastic and are slightly more difficult to install than white ones. The eyelet also has a shinier finish. I remembered that this was a cargo trailer, not a Mercedes. Also, the electrical connector housings on the back of each light differ slightly between red and white lights. As long as they fit together. The fit is much better when paired with the right light. Also, I applied some Ox-Gard to the electrical connectors to prevent oxidation and keep them from getting dirty. Stay fit.
