I'm going to replace mine with LED also and I'm using the exisitng harness. I've read about "heat shrinking" the splice after soldering. I'm assuming this should be done, right?

I would/will do it that way, the heat shrink helps protect the connection from the environment.

Lowe's carries butt splices, that are coated with the heat shrink and lined with adhesive which makes them watertight. I think they cost me $7 for a 25 pack?

Thanks for the tip

I just decided to replace mine with the LED fixtures as they needed bulb replacement. So far I have LED brake/signal lights and an LED 3 light bar. I've not replaced any of my clearance or marker lights yet.




That's what I did. I even put liquid electrical tape on the ends of the heat shrink. Maybe over kill but I figured if a little water got in there it would never get out.

On second thought you could use firecadets idea

What? I said they'll plug right in which would mean that there is no need to rewire... Are you giving me a hard time.

Try here for good prices. But for me shipping was cheap because they're in CA.

Whoa, I just carroused their site. Prices are WAY up from when I bought mine.

In case anyone else was interested...I found this for half of anyone else had them for: LED Trailer Lights

I tried to buy some headsets last year from Overstock. They sent me a different model than the one I ordered; I sent it back, they sent me a second different one, I sent it back, and finally told them to just forget it.

They were not expensive - maybe $15 each for two, but the one they had in their website was kind of neat, and that is the one I wanted. Seems if they had anything close, that is what they sent.

I'd be interested to know if you get what you ordered. Please keep us posted. Maybe my experience was just a fluke.

Well i sure hope you just had one bad experience...

I picked some up from a local auo parts place, plug and play. Murray's Discount Auto. I did pay a little more, but I knew what I was buying...

Got my lights I ordered already...that was quick. They look good, but will report back one I get them installed in a few weeks.

$90.00? Is that the price of being cool? It's worth it, I love those LED lights, the more the merrier!(Plus it keeps the dumbass behind you from not seeing you!)

Glad it worked out for you.

Well just wanted to give an update on the LED trailer lights I bought from Overstock.com. Got the boat home last Thursday and finally got a chance to put them on today. Went on very easily and they look great. Now lets see if they survive the summer being dunked in the water over and over.
