Led lights

Hey Pete, LED is the way to go. Totally waterproof, no globes to worry about, contacts are sealed in resin and they draw little power.

I've found LED lights to be excellent on my boat trailer. In fact Led lights have revolutionised the trailer industry, just ask the truckies.

G'day Pete

I always had trouble with the lights on my Compac 402 Van, purchased new in Melbourne in 2009, on every trip I would have stop lights or blinkers not working, despite always being checked before setting out from home. After a eightteen months of stuffing around I had LCD lights fitted, no problems after that.

Funny enough we got a bigger Coromal (SWMBO's demand) that still has idential original taillights fitted and apart from one or two globes being replaced they have been OK. We just did a 9,000km trek to WA with no problems, but at first sign of any issues I would fit LCD lights in a heartbeat.

I replaced the stop/tail/indicator lights on my old camper trailer with LED lights.
They were quite good, or so I thought.

Last year we took a trip to the Nullarbor (mostly bitumen road) and to Mt Ives in the Gawler Ranges on the way back to Adelaide. This section was predominantly dirt tracks.

Just recently, when I was selling the camper, we connected it up to the buyer's vehicle and on checking the light operation, I discovered the right hand light had non functioning LED's. There was something like nine red LED's that comprise the tail light and the bank on either side of the centre bank were not working.

So, I can only conclude that a bit of vibration may adversely affect LED lights, which would be impossible to fix as they are completely sealed.

It's the way to go Pete.
I converted my boat trailer last year.
Just make sure you get them with the long cables that will reach all the way up to the plug.
The LED's had about 6m of cable & I wired both into the light plug. No joints.

I've just converted my caravan to all LED, over 24 assorted lights, festoon, two prong and bayonet fittings and can only say I'm blown away with the latest LEDs they are so good.
Two comments, I bought mine from overseas, some were only $1 each with free post so do your homework and secondly someone said he thought vibration had affected them, no way, I suspect poor connections or bad earth.

I run them on the back of my Agi Truck, they get high pressure hosed, washed down and dribbled upon,every hour or so and seem to be bullet proof after 6 months.

Www.Whitworths.com.au have Narva boatrailer lights on special at the moment for $40.00 a pair
I bought a set on Friday but have not fitted yet.

Thanks everyone for your replies, its obviously the way to go.
Cheers Pete

Used to have the prices too, but I could not find that bit.
Am sure if you found the bit you need then the retailer will get them in for you ..

I have done hi and low lights on my camper trailer with them, and also used the same mob to replace the indicator lights ion my Bull bar

Good and not that expensive

Once again thanks everyone for the terrific responce. I just went out to BCf and picked up a pair of stop/blicker / tail for the grand total of $60, and also spotted a new wind up arm for the jockey wheel to replace the one I snapped off.
Cheers Pete

Yeah i am a mad fisherman also.
Only last week i replaced my boat trailer lights with LED.

At the moment repco are selling a narva brand kit with 9 metre leads so there are no interconnections to do for $145 and it comes with a 4X4 rear halogen worklight....
