Caravan Tail Lights & Trailer Lights

Why choose LED caravan tail lights for your trailer?

Upgrading to a high-quality LED tail light is the most effective way to improve the safety and visibility of your caravan or trailer. Modern LED rear combination lamps provide a much brighter output than traditional bulbs, ensuring your brake, indicator, and reverse signals are clearly seen by other drivers in all weather conditions. Because LED technology is resistant to vibration and shock, these caravan lights are less likely to fail while traveling on corrugated off-road tracks or long stretches of bitumen.

Most caravan tail light replacement units feature an IP67 waterproof rating, making them ideal for boat trailers and heavy-duty RV applications. A LED combo lamp often integrates the stop, tail, and indicator functions into a single lamp, simplifying the wiring and installation process. Whether you need a square Narva-style unit or a sleek Roadvision strip light, choosing the right 12V lighting ensures your vehicle remains compliant with Australian road standards while enhancing its overall aesthetic.

What else you need for trailer auto lights & reflectors?

• Front End Outline Markers: These lights are essential for indicating the width of your caravan to oncoming traffic, especially during night driving on narrow roads.
• Trailer Plugs & Sockets: High-quality automotive connectors ensure a stable electrical link between your vehicle and the trailer lights, preventing flickering or signal loss.
• Reflectors: Adding extra reflectors to the rear and sides of your caravan provides a vital safety backup if your electrical system fails while parked on the roadside.
• Reversing Cameras: Pairing your reverse lights with a camera system gives you full visibility behind your RV, making tight maneuvers in caravan parks much safer.
• Brake Systems: Ensuring your electric brakes are synchronized with your brake lights is critical for maintaining control and safety while towing heavy loads.

4x4 Caravan & Trailer Tail Light FAQ

Should I run a dedicated ground wire for my new LED lights?

Many factory trailer lights rely on the metal frame for a ground (earth), which eventually fails due to rust and road grime. For the most reliable LED tail light performance, you should run a dedicated white ground wire from the plug all the way back to each lamp to prevent flickering and dimming.

What are the standard Australian trailer wiring colors?

While you should always check the Narva or Roadvision packaging, the Australian standard is generally: Yellow (Left Indicator), Green (Right Indicator), Red (Stop/Brake), Brown (Tail/Markers), Black (Reverse), and White (Earth/Ground). It is recommended to use a multimeter to verify these at the plug before you start cutting any existing wire.

How do I stop my indicators from flashing too fast after installing LEDs?

This is known as "hyper-flashing" because the car thinks a bulb is blown due to the low power draw of the LED. The standard fix is to install a load resistor or swap your vehicle’s flasher relay for an LED-compatible version, which ensures your indicator lights blink at the correct speed.
