Called Extreme and they are closed due to Covid. Trying to buy a replacement LED brake light. Anyone have a contact or know where I can find one?

Just bought the same ones from Adrenaline two days ago. About 45 bucks for stop / brake / signal.

The lights are available on Amazon, the frame is something that Extreme patented, all of the other trailer builders have to get them through Extreme.

I have been wondering where the frames came from, good to know

From Amazon reviews...

I purchased these lights and installed one on my new Jeep Wrangler. The light housings leaked and filled with water during the first light rain. Partsam was good enough to send a replacement unit but the quality of the seal was unchanged. They're listed as IP65 water resistant in one area of the description and IP67 in another. They don't meet either requirement, in fact I believe the beautiful carton they came in has a better seal. I've been in the injection molded plastics business for 45 years, ultrasonic sealing, and bonding many similar products. The lights are not properly sealed and never will be due to there poor seal design and lack of sonic weld energy points. DO NOT buy unless you want to light the inside if your vehicle or live in the desert. See photos and poor or no sealing in disassembled parts. If properly sealed I shouldn't be able to easily pop apart. It's not the price that's offensive but the three holes I drilled in my new Jeep

Guess I will run some clear silicone around the seal.

I bought these. More than Amazon but they have been working well for a couple years now.


If you are having light issues and they aren’t full of water, pull your lights off and look at the wiring. Extreme used vampire clamps on my turn signal to the taillight wire. The metal in the clamp corroded, and the turn signals had a bad connection and wouldn’t work.

I cut out the vampire clamp and soldered the connections and the lights work perfect now.

Interesting posts. I went to extreme as I have the same lights (2008 trailer) and the style light they sell now is slightly smaller that the original lights which kind of pissed me off as you can slightly tell (might just be me). I may order up from etrailer and see if theirs are the original size

Thanks but there are some dead LEDs

Were they always LED lights or did you replace the conventional lights with LED?
