View Full Version : Question Sealed Trailer Tail Lights

Well after 7 years the rear tail lights have burned out on my Prestige trailer. I thought it was going to be an easy fix, in so far as take out the burned out bulb and replace with a fresh one. What I found was that the bulb and lens is one sealed assembly. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? The dealer I bought the boat/trailer from up in Michigan is now out of business.

Boaters world has some decent sales. GO with the "LED" lights, you won't regret it.

If your lights aren't already mounted on poles to keep them out of the water, now might be the time to do it. Ditto on L.E.D.'s. They will outlast you!

If you are in the tidewater area, go to Portsmouth Trailer on Military Hwy. I got mine there. Martin

Everybody says LED but the ones I saw weren’t sealed – meaning the saltwater would corrode them way before the bulb would ever burn out. After replacing my regular lights every year for 3 consecutive years I went with the sealed ones; a few years now and going strong. 7 years is a long time for trailer lights to last – you can buy them pretty much anywhere they sell trailer lights.

I bought sealed LEDs at Wally World. As others have stated, you can get them almost anywhere..
