I made some lighted guide posts for my Lund aluminum boat trailer... I bought a 10' piece of 2" PVC pipe, two 2" PVC caps and two round clearance lights... All the metal was scrap that I had... I made aluminum brackets to mount to the aluminum trailer, then welded 1-1/2" tubing to the angle iron.

I have about $15.00 dollars in these... They're very easy to make and you can save A LOT of money instead of buying lighted guide posts.

What kind of lights are they and where did you buy them? Good clean look. Grats on a good job.
Thanks!

They're just round clearance lights... I bought them at a local place that sells trailer parts, but Tractor Supply also has them... I paid $3.09 a piece for these.

Also, if you plan to make a set, don't use LED... They won't light up as bright since they're mounted on top.
