Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of trailers and caravans who need a replacement right-hand triangular rear light. The AB Tools TR287 offers OEM quality, integrating essential functions like brake light, indicator, tail light, fog light, and a reflector into a single unit, simplifying installations for new builds or refurbs. A key benefit is its compatibility with common UK trailer wiring looms via a 20mm 5-pin quick plug and a separate 4-pin Radex loom plug. However, users must verify their existing connector size, as this unit features a specific 20mm diameter 5-pin plug.

FAQs

What is the key differentiator for this light's plug system?

This light features a 20mm diameter, 5-pin quick plug for the main functions, plus a separate 4-pin plug often used with Radex looms for auxiliary lights like side markers or number plate lights.

Do I need to buy bulbs separately?

No, the required bulbs (2 x Single Contact 21w and 1 x Dual Contact 5w/21w) are included with the light unit.

How do I know if this light will fit my trailer?

Measure the connector on the back of your current light. If it is approximately 20mm in diameter and has 5 pins, it is likely compatible. This is the right-hand fitment model.

Can this light be used on the left side of the trailer?

No, this specific model is designed for right-hand fitment only in the UK.

Is this light road legal?

Yes, the light is 'E' Marked, meaning it complies with European road safety standards.

What are the dimensions of the light?

The dimensions are approximately 215mm (Length) x 175mm (Height) x 55mm (Depth).

What functions does this trailer light perform?

It functions as a Brake Light, Indicator, Tail Light, Fog Light, and includes a Triangle Reflector.

Troubleshooting

Light not working

Check all bulb connections are secure. Verify the 5-pin and 4-pin plugs are fully inserted. Test bulbs individually. Ensure the trailer's earth connection is sound.

Indicator flashing too fast or not at all

Ensure the correct wattage bulbs are installed. Check for loose connections in the indicator circuit. If using LEDs (not supplied with this unit), a load resistor may be needed.

Brake light remains on

Verify the 5w/21w dual-contact bulb is correctly seated and wired. Check for shorts in the brake light wiring.

Water ingress into the light unit

Ensure the lens seal is intact and the unit is securely mounted. Check for cracks in the casing. If leaking, the unit may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the trailer is safely parked and disconnected from the towing vehicle.
  2. Remove the old trailer light, noting the wiring connections.
  3. Identify the 20mm 5-pin quick plug and the separate 4-pin plug on the new light.
  4. Compare the connector on the back of your old light to the 20mm 5-pin plug. If they match, connect the main loom.
  5. Connect the 4-pin plug to your trailer's side marker or number plate light loom, if applicable.
  6. Mount the light using the provided studs and nuts, ensuring a secure fit against the trailer body.
  7. Install the correct bulbs: 2 x 21w for brake/indicator and 1 x 5w/21w dual-contact for tail/fog.
  8. Test all functions (brake, indicator, tail, fog) before use.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Connector: 20mm diameter, 5-pin quick plug. Verified fit for many common UK trailer wiring looms.

  • Bulb Types: Requires 2 x 21w (single contact) and 1 x 5w/21w (dual contact).
  • Fitment: Right-hand side only.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the lens with a damp cloth to maintain visibility. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Check wiring connections for corrosion or damage, especially after prolonged exposure to weather.
  • Ensure the lens is securely fitted to prevent water ingress.
