any way to prevent corrosion inside lights?

[GlasV162]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to prevent or at least slow down the corrosion process that takes place inside trailer lights. I have the so-called "submersible" tail lights with the seals around the lenses, but water still gets in. I'm wondering if a small amount of grease on the bulb base might work, or will that destroy the connection?
Thanks for the help.

I just buy new ones every couple of years. When there's a sale at Fleet Farm, I pick up a pair.

Seriously, you can solve the problem once and for all by buying a set of LED trailer lights. $50 and you're done. They work great.

i totally agree. one day i'll get around to it. you can also put guide ons on the trailer and mount them on the guide ons. i just cut a 2 inch PVC T and put on to of the guide on.
