Default Trailer light = submersible?

Simplest way to go is replace your lights with sealed units such as
Trucklite or some brand of sealed LED's. LED's are the way to go. LED's are
brighter, waterproof, don't get hot, use less power, and all the brands I've
seen have a lifetime warranty.
I've worked on hundreds of tractor/trailers that have had them for years and
the only ones I've had to change have been damaged due to an accident.

I have a NorthTrail trailer for my 14' boat, I just discovered that the
trailer lights are not sealed by any rubber washer. Bascially I can see

water actually gets into the lights and have direct contact with the

light
bulb.


Just a question, don't You have removable light ramps on the trailers
over there? It's pretty much standard on our trailers. Remove all the
back lights before submerging the trailer, and no more problems.
