I stopped by Northern Tool and they finally had the replacement LED fixtures in stock for my trailer. Anyone that has used a trailer knows keeping the lights working can be a real PITA. With the LED lighting age upon us that takes the old burned out bulb out of the equation. These LED lamps are rated for 100,000 hours of service. Another bonus to LED over conventional lamps is faster activation. Caddilac published results when they started using LED brake lamps. They stated at 55mph LED lights give the driver behind you 16ft more reation time than conventional bulbs. So hopefully folks will see my signal a little quicker and there will be no burnt out bulbs.:tu:

What are you doing??? Following my ass around watching for what is giving me problems?

I shat you not. Every fricking time I pick up my trailer to go on another trip, the fricking tail-light bulb is screwed. If it's not one side, it's the other. I actually buy them in bulk now....

Rocks

Use LED lamps and be done with it. Bulb failure is a lot worse with little trialers like yours that bounce and jar when empty. The filaments don't like the shock. I can hook you up for a small fee:D . Another reason is to eliminate 'probable cause' for a traffic stop for a stupid light out. You know they will stop you at a bad time:evil .
