LED TRAILER LIGHTS FITTED

I made the decision to replace the existing incandescent lighting on the boat trailer the day I picked it up. The existing setup was designed to be removed before launching the boat.

Today I removed all the old five core cabling, and combination stop tail and indicator lights. The cable was still OK but too short when plugged into the Disco's trailer socket. I'll make use of the old cable when I fit and wire new LED navigation and all round anchor lights in the future.

I used the existing gal brackets on the trailer to mount the new compact LED submersible lights to. The new five core cable was a generous 8 metres, so I was able to use all the factory chassis cable hooks and cable tie the rest out of harms way. Best part was the price. Pair of LED's, 8 metres cable and 7 pin flat connector for $33 delivered.

None of the wiring was prewired. I spliced into the cable to connect the right side lamp assembly before continuing the cable to left side. All wire joins were spliced, soldered and sealed with heat shrink. The entire join areas were the tightly wrapped in quality Nitto electrical PVC tape. I might also wrap both join areas with self amalgamating tape to make it as waterproof as possible.
