Anyone here have experience buying parts?

The left tail light on my trailer needs to be replaced.
Went to the Trailex website, and found what appeared to be a diagram of the correct model trailer on the parts page.
Ordered the light and bracket, cost about $28ish
Shipping and handling cost $35 !!!

Ten days later, the wrong parts show up.
I'm not finding any other options on their website, and I'd REALLY like to avoid paying S&H again.

 

Call Carl at Trailex.
(800) 282-5042

 

Call them. They are great to deal with.

 

When I needed a replacement tail light, I called Karl. He gave me the model number and told me to buy it from Amazon. I think it was 12.00

 

eTrailer.com, replaced with LED tail units on my 1999 Trailex eaxct fit / match, LED running lights were a different style and required drilling one (of two) screw holes. Replaced e-brake battery while at it and 5th wheel jack w/ a swivel 2 wheel unit.

 

Thanks very much everyone.
Left a couple vms for Karl and another gentleman at Trailex. No respond yet.

Thanks Kevin for bringing up going the alternate route:

Anyone know what the part number is for the Left tail light and L bracket for that side?

 

This is a drivers side tail light. My bracket was bent but saveable.

 

Does this require any drilling/adjustments or is it a perfect fit for a CT-7541?
I need a passenger side tail light. Shall I buy both lights (to match) or would the light from this new one (passenger side) match the other side?

 

 

I've used 3 of these.

 

 

Look carefully at the link. There is a different part number for left or right side. Not sure about LED options.

 

The Trailex price is not that far out of line. Featherlight replacements for an open trailer is $35 plus $25 shipping. Seems like a ripoff. There's a difference in price for Left vs. Right because the Left unit has a white light at the bottom to shine on the license plate.

 

I have 2011 Trailex (model 8045) with LED lighting. The taillight assemblies are made by Peterson. Replacement Peterson assemblies can be found online. If you are currently running incandescent lighting, I highly recommend upgrading to LEDs, especially if you are replacing full tail light assemblies.

 

Thx! I have LED tail lights -- just need replacement for the passenger side one. Do you have the model/part numbers for the Peterson lights? I wonder if 7541 uses the same ones as 8045. Can't see why they wouldn't be the same.
