I get a little excited when i get to the lake and forget to unplug the trailer lights from time to time so i blow the bulbs often. [Smart] Does anyone make boat trailer lights that are decent? I spent the last hour replacing the lights i put on the trailer last weekend. I have tries blazer and peterson and both have crappy light sockets but they are the only ones i seem to be able to find. I am considering the LED's but I wonder if they are any better. Has any one dunked them in lake while they were lit? ( the lights that is..)
I can get you some sealed LED's for about 15.00 bucks each, regular boat trailer stuff from our supplier.

contact the company called:
Lighthouse Inc 5900 East 58th Avenue, Commerce City, CO 80022-3955(303) 227-0001
They can hook you up with some sealed lights or LED sealed. They should work great for you. Been using sealed lights for years on all our trailers without an issue. (non boat trailers, but still out in the rain etc without issue)
I buy all my stuff from them. Truck lights, trailer lights etc. Recently put some sealed LED stuff on my camper and will be putting some on my old jeep soon too.
Don't buy the LED or Sealed stuff from local auto-parts stores, they jack the prices up a lot more than going direct to the source/wholesale

never been to lighthouse i might have to check them out, I bought the last set of lights from west marine in littleton they are great people but the selection of trailer lights was minimal
We build Alot of trailers, Lighthouse is a good source, we just did a 32' trailer for a big boat submersible leds all around, NO problem.
Lighthouse will ship them too you, but maybe not at 15.00 a pc.

First thing I have done to both of my boat trailers was to replace all the lights with sealed LED's.
Never blew a bulb.
I went one step further and put 20A circuit breakers on all the circuits in a waterproof J box on the tongue of the boat. That way if I ever spaced to unplug the lights before I launched/landed I didnt blow the fuzes in the truck, just tripped the breakers.
Wait 3 to 5 minutes and off you go.......
