Default Cheap Cobra Trailer Lights 1998 Trailer on E-bay USA ONLY!

Friends in the USA. I recently changed all the lights on my cobra
trailer to LED. They are so much brighter and better. I feel like I
am towing a lit Christmas tree down the road. I just hated throwing
the old German ones away when there might be a fellow pilot who might
have a broken lens and be resistant to upgrade to modern technology.
Since I don't want to ship out of the USA, only USA pilots may bid.
Search E-bay "Cobra trailer 1998" and you will find all 6 lights.
Please, don't bid too much because they are 12 years old. I hope the
bidding stays less than $2.00 as that is what they are probably worth
and will just cover the cost of shipping which is all I hope to get
for them.

I found these http://www.walmart.com/ip/12-Volt-LE...t-Kit/14562255
at the local wally-world. They are the same form factor as the common
square Petersen lights found on a lot of 1980s & 90s trailers,
including my Komet. No more intermittent contacts and weak bulbs.

As a regular to night driving, *please* make sure they are not of the
annoying/distracting strobing variety, especially before recommending
the same for others...

How to test? At night, somewhere dark, turn on your taillights and
walk behind the trailer. With your eyes fully open, run your vision
back and forth, quickly, across the lights a few times. Is the tracer
solid red or a dashed line? Solid is good, dashed means you are now a
distraction and potential hazard for other night drivers.

That said, LED's are definitely the way to go, and good on you for
making your old ones available for someone in need...

My 3 cents...
-Paul
