    Anyone have a source for Peterson Lights?
    V178XR is the part number...

    They are the kind used as markers on the rear end of the Renegade trailer and the dealer wants $25 each OEM...

    Gee and I thought KW gave it to me hard....

    I got them from Amazon last year for $13.5-ish each plus shipping, but they have jacked up the price to $17.76.

    I found that and a few other sources. Better than $31 at the Fontaine dealer...

    It's all that bling you wear the gold chains,diamonds,Rolex and let's not forget the genuine Alligator boots. Nice to see someone who wants to keep the OEM look rather than hack it up.

    Well within reason. I am an OEM guy until my wallet says NO.
    I did find Trux makes a light that is a copy of the Peterson version.
    It actually has 13 LEDs vs the 4 that Peterson comes in.

    $12 vs $16 or so, also helps.

    Trux infinity is the style and they come in amber or red and with a matching lens
    or clear as well.
