Full details

The AB Tools TR124 Magnetic Trailer/Car Recovery Light set is an essential tool for drivers of trailers, caravans, and recovery vehicles who require a versatile, temporary lighting solution. These lights provide a reliable method to ensure legal compliance and road safety, featuring integrated reflective triangles and high-strength magnetic mounts that allow for quick installation on any steel surface. While highly convenient for short-term use, the system is designed specifically for temporary applications and should not be considered a permanent replacement for integrated vehicle lighting.

FAQs

Can I use these lights as a permanent solution?

These are designed for temporary or recovery use; for permanent setups, it is recommended to use lights hard-wired into the vehicle's electrical system.

Do I need any tools to attach the lights?

No, the units feature heavy-duty integrated magnets for quick attachment to steel surfaces.

How far apart can I place the lights?

The provided stretchy cable allows the lights to be placed up to 3 meters apart.

Are the bulbs replaceable?

Yes, the lights are user-serviceable and standard replacement bulbs can be fitted if a light burns out.

Will these stick to aluminum or plastic panels?

No, the magnets require a ferrous metal (steel) surface to adhere correctly.

Does this kit include a license plate light?

Yes, one of the units features a clear side window specifically designed to illuminate a registration plate.

Troubleshooting

Lights are not turning on when connected

Check the connection at the towing vehicle socket and ensure your vehicle's fuse for the trailer lights is intact.

Light unit keeps shifting position

Ensure the magnetic base is clean and attached to a flat, non-painted steel surface; road vibrations can cause sliding on oily or uneven surfaces.

Individual function (e.g., indicator) is not working

Open the light lens and check if the bulb is seated correctly or if the filament has broken due to transit vibration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clean the metal surface of the trailer or recovery vehicle to remove road grime, which ensures the magnets maintain full contact. Connect the 10-meter cable to your towing vehicle's standard trailer socket. Always test your indicators and brake lights while stationary before entering traffic. To maintain the units, store them in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture ingress in the bulb sockets. Regularly check the condition of the stretchy cable to ensure no fraying has occurred, and wipe the lenses clean to maintain maximum light intensity for other drivers.
