Hi All,

Have an older Komet trailer with the original European tail lights.
The plastic lens are really faded, and the internal corrosion is
getting bad.
Thinking of replacing the lights with the newer LED Euro lights. The
existing lights are the original Euro 4-wire types that are working
fine
with a normal flat four trailer plug that has the appropriate
converter in line. Question is, does anyone have a source for the
Euro 4-wire LED
tail lights? Found one online source on e-Bay (Trailer-Towing in the
UK), but wonder if anyone else has had any issues upgrading bulb
type Euro lights to the LED's? Also, anyone know of a source for the
Euro lights in the US?

Harbor Freight is good for a lot of stuff, But in this case, I think there
are better deals on better LED lights out there. See
http://www.vehiclelight.com/ledstli.html

for one example . . . or search Maxxima lights etc. For a little more, you
can get a 44 LED fixture.

Whatever ones you buy, make sure they're not those horrible strobing
(and hence distracting to night drivers...) jobbies.
