Aimhigh Posted October 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2010 I want to replace my trailer (pulled by cycle) lights with led-type of lights. i was hoping to be able to simply take the light cover off, remove the old light, and wire in the new led lights. could it possibly be this simple, or am i dreaming? if it is possible, does anyone know where to purchase the led lights?

muffinman Posted October 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 26, 2010 superbrightleds.com has plug and play leds for almost all types of bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted October 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2010 superbrightleds.com is the place to go for sure. I've replaced every marker and running light on my bike with LED's from them. No need for wiring in new stuff, just replace the bulbs. If you don't find what you need on their site.....it may not exist. And great service to. Fast shipping and I did have one bulb that was defective and after one e-mail request they shipped a new bulb...no charge. Been all season now with the new lights with no failures. Works for me. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Ftail-brake-turn.html Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimhigh Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted November 3, 2010 Well, I ordered and received the led replacement bulbs. I am disappointed with what I see. The stop lights do seem a bit brighter...the turn signals are actually dimmer than the original bulbs. Oh well, live and learn, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave77459 Posted November 3, 2010 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2010 One of the housings was busted on my trailer when it arrived. During assembly, I just ran to Harbor Freight and bought their LED trailer kit. $20 or so? They are really, really bright. It was simple for the guys who knew what they were doing to install.

Sylvester Posted November 3, 2010 Share #6 Posted November 3, 2010 I did not see this thread early enough, I guess. For rear lighting I use Radiantz LED and they really light up bright. I have a run/turn/brake adapter (Kuryakin) so therefore I have red turn signals an the rear with clearance and brake capability. I also put the Radiantz in my front turn signals. I also have the Diamond R light bar under the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj5ix Posted November 4, 2010 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2010 You didn't say what kind of trailer you have,,,,, if it is one with molded lights, it will be tough to find replacement/LED's for I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycatt Posted November 6, 2010 Share #9 Posted November 6, 2010 I replaced the entire housings on my Cyclemate. It wasn't the cheapest way to go, but it is ridiculously bright on both running and brake. I probably could have got by with just two of them, but anything worth doing is worth over doing. I bought mine local for about $20 each (4 total), but you can find these lights all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
