LED trailer lights

Gday Blue, i checked them out at a trucking place, all in one type, Gleemans truck parts and accessories, at Moorebank NSW. I actually buy them because.ummm $168 each. All the truck places have them but i havent had time to do more research. , too much just for that AH.... michael

The red LED's to make the lights are about $2 each so you could make a set for about $50 if your able to fit them in you old bulb type housings. Eric.

Hella have some water proof LED lights which they sell for around $90 to $100
dont know where on the east you can get them though. also a lot of people have trouble with LEDs as they dont draw much current and upset the computers on trucks

G'day Blue,
I note that you are a Victorian member, so if you are in Melbourne particularly on the north side of town, your request may have been answered. You might like to give Tony a call, 9464 5939 and say that Murray referred you.
OR
Checkout www.ledautolamps, Tony has a dealer network that covers most of Australia.
I am building a new hard floor off road camper trailer for the outback market, that will be released next year. I have used Tony's lights on the prototype and they are fantastic, bulletproof.
Hope this helps,
Murray

G'day Blue

If all else fails, please let me know, I have a mate that works for Narva and they have heaps of the LED lights and I could find out where they are available. I would let you know now, but he is currently away. Check out

Great response , thanks all. Looking into sourcing the leds and having a crack at making my own... Brother in-law in a sparky who absolutely hates helping out the family, for some reason he has offered his services to show me how it's all done. If all else fails, I've stored all your recommended links and phone numbers and will follow them up.

Have you tried any marine suppies outlets in your local area ?

I fitted a set of Hella lights to the rear of my caravan last year (purchased from J. V. Marine in Springvale, Melbourne), as well as 6 red/amber LED clearance lights (it is a moderate size van).

Cost was several hundred dollas all up, but worth it in my view due to increased reliability and significanyly less current draw through trailer wiring.

Like all trailer lights, it pays to ensure that the earth connections at each light is well made.

I've just spent the last two weeks out in the WA bush (Lake Barley region) with George, he's a wizz on LED's. One night whilst around the camp fire he upgraded the rear door interior light with an LED.

A fair time back now I remade a more substantial rear bar for my Troopy, I installed the Hella Marine tail/stop, indicator LED's. They were just under $300 for the pair. I stalled in a river crossing one time with the lights on so they are actually waterproof.

See ya
