Froggy, for what it's worth, I have a Venture trailer and have had nary a
problem with the lights. Maybe a call to them would be a good thing?

I have tried both versions of the lights made by "Optronics" (LED and
incandescent), neither worked for more than a month. Do not buy
anything from Optronics.
I think I tried Wesbar two years ago but have forgotten.
Now I am trying the Anderson Marine LED type.
You'd think there would be a market for good reliable trailer lights,
it isn't rocket science, just heavily tin all your wire and
connections and other bare metal.
