For $50, switch to LED's. You won't have to worry about changing bulbs
from
then on.


I paid $70 for mine almost a year ago but my old lights are still
working!
Ever since I started disconnecting the wire connection when launching
I've
had no shorts or burn outs. I so look forward to installing the LEDs.

Note: The dude at West Marine said that the DOT of Florida has not
approved
of LED lights on boat trailers. I can't say that I've seen them around,
as
anyone else, living in FLA?

You're not worried about the DOT. You're worried about a cop.
If you have lights, and they are working, the cop isn't going to
care if they are filament bulbs or LEDs.

Good point, I just may replace them before the weekend.


The running lights on My Old Boat need to be replaced, and I
found some LEDs that will fit into the old housings. A little
nip, and little snip, and it will be just fine. Is it Coast
Guard Approved? No. Do I care? Hell no.

The standard is that they have to be visible from two miles away,
and mine will be. I can use kerosene lamps if I feel like it.
My LEDs will be just fine.
