Location: Nebraska | So one of my tail lights on my 2002 Elite trailer is not working. i thought this may be a good time to replace them with LED lights.
I could take it to shop, but if it was possible.......I would try to replace them myself.
Hmmm
If i could manage this job, would I need load resisters?
Words of wisdom?
Thanks

Location: Minnesota | When I converted the lights on my truck to LED, I needed to add the resisters. I have done my LQ horse trailer and my 4-horse trailers to LED and did not need resisters. Both have worked well for past 3 years.
If you do some research, you can find LED lights with the same holds for mounting that you currently have. I found my lights thru Redneck Trailer.
Just be aware LED cost considerable more than old style lights. |

| I have a friend who makes a living with someone who serves large enterprises where the main lighting equipment is LED strip. According to him, the great importance and maintainability of LED strips depend on the manufacturer. |

| Yes, you would definitely need resistors. I've been in a similar situation as yours, and after installing them, it's like a stone falls off my heart. |

When I'm dealing with that kind of matter, usually I reach here for help https://lightingandsupplies.com/larson-electronics/. It's a well-known distributor company that engages in small and bigger projects. I tried a couple of times replacing LEDs by myself, but unfortunately, I ruined them. Since then, I'm leaving it for more dexterous specialists to do it. |
