Default boat trailer lights

Well I had to replace one of my trailer lights about three months ago and its already gone out. What brand do you guys recommend. And are the led lights really worth it. Im thinking about just getting the magnetic kit and just placing them on my boat and taking them off before I launch. Im tired of dunking my lights

I wouldn't mess with the magnetic lights, you dont want to be jacking around with them at the boat launch...

Someone may cut some "figure 8's" around you in the parking lot ...

I bought Optronics LED in 2004.
Never bought a light since.
Everyonce in awhile a few lights will go out of one.
They got a lifetime warranty if the light is not damage.
I did it twice when a few of the lights on the inside stop working I take a picture of the light and email it to Optronics customer service.
A week later you will get two new lights for the back.

My trailer is less than 4 months old have had 3 bulbs blow, put your lights on your PVC guide poles on your trailer end of problem. It is on my list
of things to do this week.

Keeping the lights out of the water is the only way to make sure they will always work. CE Smith makes a bracket that you mount to your guide poles, pretty easy to do.
