The boxes arrived disassembled, the lights were protected in plastic bubble wrap, which I appreciate the extra care for shipping. I mounted mine on the neck of a gooseneck trailer that mainly hauls a tractor and hay equipment that usually blocks the factory tail lights. The boxes are made of stamped 14 gauge, which is stout enough to serve the purpose, without overkill. There are some sharp edges in the punched out light mounting holes, but nothing excessive, nothing 10 minutes of file work won’t cure. The ends are tack welded, IMO, well enough to work properly in a protected position. I opted to weld them up solid since they were going to be in an open area. I also added a 3/4” marker light to the back of the boxes, which is actually facing forward on the trailer. The boxes were coated in a cosmoline like anti rust film. It took me the better part of an hour to get them ready to paint, but they took rattle can primer and equipment enamel very well. The lights fit very well in the stamped holes. The rubber grommets were a little stiff, but a heat gun got them nice and limber. As far as some of the other reviews stating the lights were orange color or dim, mine ain’t. The ones I received are DOT approved and bright enough to leave you seeing spots. I feel like I got a hell of a deal. It would cost me close to double in the 903 if I had to start over from scratch building my own boxes and buying the lights. If you’re straddle of the fence on deciding wether or not to get yourself a pair, go ahead and get them. They’re well worth the money.
