Trailer lights

Does anyone use the magnetic style removable lights? Mine are shot and the rat's nest of wiring doesn't look like a fun job--only to dunk the new lights in water once finished!

I see a headache with using the magnetic ones for towing a car. I wired my new trailer entirely with LED's. They aren't effected by water at all. I suppose I spent around $400 for all the lights, (which there is 13 of), the wiring, plugs and heatshrink. The wire was really expensive, I think close to $100 of the cost. It's used on semi's where its exposed to the elements and it has a thick rubber cover over the wire. Overkill but I don't ever want to do it again.

Moral of the story, wire it properly and you'll won't have to touch it for a very long time. My two cents.

Lights? On a trailer? You gotta be (censored) me? They come with lights?

Disregard xanderwess. I had to follow him for three hours to a regatta so he wouldn't get pulled over for not having lights. Thank god for that guy creeping you out, and following to close!

You followed him for three hours?!!

I followed him for three minutes and he tried to take me out by ejecting a set of CatTrax at me!

HA! He flinged a license plate at me on the way home. Following a Wessels is always an adventure.

Luckily we only have to worry about following Wessels on the ROAD...on the water? Not so much.

First of all:
My truck is the problem, not the trailer. And I DID get pulled over anyway you a-hole.
I still don't have a licence plate on the Amigo
The Cattrax were NOT MY FAULT!! Somebody tossed them up there and didn't tie 'em down. It was kinda funny though.....
Mork, you can kiss my ass. We'll see how you do in June.

Somebody's a little bitter...

Yea, I am sorry. No coffee today. But Mork started it! And Karl is just making fun of my trailer because he spent more on his trailer than I did on my boat. And Matt is right, I DID try to kill him with cattrax on some deserted road in Asspunch Kansas.

Chris, Mork makes a good point! Although I always sail my best aginst you when we have a good alcohol bet going:)

After that asskicking you threw down on everyone at Storm Lake Jamie, you're the man.

I'll be putting new lights on my trailer this winter. My wiring is a mess too. From looking around you can buy a whole harness with lights for around $30. I might just get the harness and use those 4" round sealed beams that the tractor trailers use. I use them on everything else. I would just need to manufacture 2 brackets.
