My new trailer lights

[plainsman]

LED would seem the way to go. I had some problems on my utility trailer, I think it was a wiring thing in the vehicle, I had another trailer I had wired backup lights onto, and kept getting wires mixed up and tags falling off. I went to check prices on em, and they seemed pretty good for a kit. They never break or burn out. Used to have (waterproof) taillights on the jeeps, but every week had to drain water out of em cause with temp changes they would suck moisture in and load up. Seem to me less hassle, and less repair cost as well as inconvenience regular bulbs would be compared. Seems they take less room too.

I know you'll really be liking those LED lights. Like you I really got tired of having to mess with keeping my trailer lights working. I'll bet it wasn't even six months with a new boat and trailer when I was told hey one of your turning lights was not working. I've broken some regular trailer lights by backing into ice and do know that LED's can be damaged by launching into ice. After a while of having to continue doing something with keeping my trailer lights working and where in most all cases it had something to do with losing contact on the ground wire from the light where it was connected to the trailer frame. Probably rust.

I finally decided to have the trailer rewired with new LED lights. I ask Croft Trailer to run a third ground wire to each light and to make sure they were generous with the lengths of wire at each light so that if a light had to be replaced a lazy non-mechanical or electrical inclined person like me would have plenty of wire where I could replace the light on my own. That was done in 2009 and I haven't had one iota of problems with my trailer lights since then and I really think that third ground wire to each light was why it has worked so well for me. I really think a majority of trailer light problems wouldn't occure if only they routinely wired the trailers with the third ground wire running to each light on the trailer.

Just thought I would throw this in here since I hadn't seen it mentioned.

Good work Jay.
I love the LEDs too. Just got to make sure they gotta real good ground and they are good to go. Lots brighter in the daytime too.
If I get pulled over it wont be for my trailer lights.LOL

So I finally got fed up with the trailer lights working only when they wanted. Bought a new harness, new LED side marker lights and new LED tail lights. Got everything hooked up and it all works. Then I notice I have 3 little marker lights across the back I forgot about. Since one of them is burnt out, I will be getting some LED replacements for them. Hopefully I go a long long time before I have to worry about lights again.

They look good LED is a good choice
