The lights on my boat trailer are sort of built in. They are
installed with a rubber gasket. The fixture itself says Truck Light.
When I unplug it and remove the fixture there seems to be no way to
change a bulb.
Any ideas?

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?

I've been using 'em in Florida for over a year and a half.

So....that automatically makes them FDOT approved?

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.

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.

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

I find that really hard to believe as most of the semis these days are running
LED's.

My car has LED brake lights.
