Trouble is... by the time the bulb burns out, it's usually rusted to it's bracket inside the tail lamp. I splurged and bought an LED replacement kit which includes two tail lamps (one with a clear licence plate light/license plate bracket), two amber clearance lights...and the wiring harness for both boat and the vehicle. (plus the usual bolts, locking screws, clips, connectors etc. $69.00 at WallyMart. |
