RTV 900 tail lights

[thunk]

Having just bought a used RTV 900 2011 the tail lights need replacing as they are smashed. Is there an aftermarket source for these, have checked e-bay but no luck.

I found mine at Wal-Mart. They look just like the originals and are available with LEDs that burn out. Costs around $15 each.

And if there is no Walmart in New Zealand, they sell online also http://www.walmart.com/. Plus if Walmart has an item it's a good bet that http://www.amazon.com/ will offer the same or similar item. A couple other online options would be http://www.cabelas.com/?WT.tsrc=DRD&WT.mc_id=cabellas.com and http://www.overtons.com/. Boat trailers use those same type of lights so either of those two vendors might have exactly what you are looking for.
Congrats on the new to you RTV.

When I bought my 04, the tail lights were cr@p so I just used generic LED low profile boat trailer lights. Bolted up with little difficulty and work well.

This is a pair from TSC http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/sto...rsible-trailer-light-kit-over-and-under-80-in but you should be able to find the LED or conventional bulb equivalent locally at boat supply places or most auto stores.

Here's a link to a page of trailer light kits available at Harbor Freight:

I like the boat trailer lights because of the glow the clear bottoms create on the ground. It is really helpful in order to see after dark -when backing up.. at least on the old style RTV which has no back up light.

If you don't have turn signals, this may help.

I got free ones from the dealer. They were take-off from units that were retrofitted for turn signals. He had a whole box full of them and was glad to get rid of two.

if and when i replace mine im going to the sealed lights like i have on my boat and front flashers on my rtv.Buy brackets and mount them and the new lights slup in and out of a rubber gromet.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-NEW-6-LED-RED-OVAL-SEALED-TURN-SIGNAL-STOP-TAIL-LIGHT-TRUCK-TRAILER-RV-KIT-/191194466041 you can get them cheaper at an auto parts store lights are about 6 bucks a piece and the brackets are about 5 a piece.They also make box brackets too.Its all I use on trailers any more and on the RTV. When it burns out which they rarely do you pop it out of the gromet and replace the whole light and lens and its water tight

Thanks for all your help. As I don't drive on the road I have replaced the tail lights with oblong LED reversing lights on the tail light wiring which give a great light out the back when towing etc.
