I'm fixing to do the same thing. I wanna get the kits they sell at Academy, it's some pvc rollers with the lights on top.

Sealed LED's are great. Last a lot longer.
When you make the connections, use a shrink type connector.
If you don't, the wires will corrode sooner or later.

glad your having good luck mine lasted 2 years i took them off and put the cheapos so i could just change them every year and change the bulbs they last almost as long as those leds do

The aluminum trailer I bought 3 years ago had the LED's, ain't had a problem yet, othe than wife breaking the red lense. No problem clear lense underneath and the lights are red.

I went through two sets of LED's at about $60 per set. They didn't last any longer than the cheap ones, so now I just use the cheap ones and treat them as though they are disposable.

I put a set of Peterson sealed L.E.D.'s on my trailer about 1.5 years ago and have been very pleased with them.

I installed new mounting brackets a few years ago to keep the lights above the water when launching the boat. Best thing I have done to keep the light working. No more problems and it has been ~ 3 years.
