I recently restored my old trailer and fitted it with LED lights that were supposed to be submersible and waterproof. Well long story short they were not. Does anyone have any recommendations from personal experience?

I've had good luck with Optronics Over 80 tail and marker lights. I really like the Mini, LED marker. They are a lot smaller than a normal maker light yet twice as bright.

Can't tell from the pics...are you sure the lights' failure was due to water intrusion? Could it be bad grounding?

They still work, the housings are full of water/condensation.

I actually ordered some new optronics waterproof lights so I will post my findings with those when I get a few dips with them on...
