Default Trailer lights

I am on my third set of trailer lights. Each has died due to salt
water intrusion. I have tried the LED variety and the bulb variety
with the so-called Bell JAr concept. Does ANYBODY have reccs for
lights?

You could go with something like this:

I had a similar setup on the trailer for my 25' Parker. Combined turn
signals, running lights, stop lights. License plate light stayed on the
trailer under the boat, burned out about one bulb there a year.

Drill a hole in each light to let the water drain out.I find this also
lets air in to dry out the inside of the light. Mine have lasted over
three years, but again, I launch in FRESH water.

Go with a new concept and you can achieve it.
