convert trailer to LED

[JayR]

I have a Coleman pop-up tent trailer. The stop/turn/tail/backup lights are reflecto lite 910-950. I am thinking about replacing the pair with LED lights. Advice?

How long do you plan on keeping the trailer? Is the lighting wiring still in good shape. It might be difficult to find direct matchup for the lights.

I use LEDs exclusivly for my trailers that I build. They really are much better quality and and longer life. I can't ever remember changing out a bad LED. If you can find the correct light and you have no problem with the expense, I encourage the change out if you are going to have the trailer for a long time.

I have found that in many cases it is the wiring that is bad, not the lights. BTW, LED back up lights are stupid expensive.

You can find direct replacement LED bulbs. Not cheap, but the quick way to go.

Corrosion, especially in the socket. Silicon dielectric grease is your friend.

Check Grote's online catalog. VERY good with pics, dimensions, and all kinds of replacement lights/housings. I've used them for tons of retrofits and custom stuff with great results.

LED's are a perfect application for cars....

This place should have a direct replacement bulb for you...

You have to get quality lights regardless if they are LED or conventional.
