celling Posted March 1, 2009 #1 Posted March 1, 2009 Been laid off for a couple weeks so I decided to put new lights on trailer. Hope to be seen now the original lights are so dull and LED is the way to go they are bright. I thought that upper light bar would really help. Put new license plate lights in and pulled the wire out on one need to replace that. Now all I need is warm weather.
Eck Posted March 1, 2009 #2 Posted March 1, 2009 Dang, I can see them lights all the way down here in Alabama... Good job!!!!!!
Marcarl Posted March 1, 2009 #3 Posted March 1, 2009 They sure do look bright. Can see you now!!!!!!!

When replacing regular light with LED's on trailer do you have to do anything else ( add diodes ???) Or can you just take old light off and wire in the new LED ? Thanks Gil
Carbon_One Posted March 3, 2009 #6 Posted March 3, 2009 Replacing conventional lights with leads on a trailer shouldn't need anything but wiring them up. because there's enough of them in each light to create the needed resistance for your system to operate on. Larry
sleepy2 Posted March 3, 2009 #7 Posted March 3, 2009 I did the same on my trailer also and they are GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Worked great without problems after 2 years use.

Skipop Posted April 17, 2009 #9 Posted April 17, 2009 I have added led lamps on the rear of the 50 rsv and have the back of the trailer covered with them. Did not add anything except a back off flasher for the brake lamps ahead of the trailer wiring so the trailer brakes will flash also. Skipop
MAINEAC Posted April 17, 2009 #10 Posted April 17, 2009 Don't buy the POS Autozone $59.95 LED tailights... I have them and when I get back home I'm returning them... They got like 12 LEDs and 4 extral LEDs light up for the brake and turns and you can't tell during the day... I had to change mine in GA on my way to CA... My old "LIFETIME WARRANTY" LEDs only had 3 LEDs still workin http://shop.easternmarine.com/images/product/6337.jpg Don't waste your money on these.. Spend a few extra bucks and get the ones with dual modes... Like the ones they run on those Large Car Chicken Trucks... You'll find them in Chrome Shops or High End Truckstops..

I recognize the top light bar in the photos, but what are/who makes the lower lights?
