ok, reading the post about LED trailer lights (sealed trailer lights), i'm thinking about switching to LED's on the boat.<br /><br />i'm looking for brighter lights that take less juice. i can count on my starting battery eventually succombing to the dead battery gods at night.<br /><br />i've seen LED lights but haven't converted anything so i'm not sure what issues i'll run into.<br /><br />does the 12v power supply need to be regulated differently?<br /><br />are there replacement type kits or do you have to put your own together from raw parts?<br /><br />need to run new wires?...i suspect the old, original wiring is adding to the battery drain.<br /><br />what about light poles, can you swap out the old bulbs for new LED's or is a new pole necessary?<br /><br />anyone done this?<br /><br />a lil' help please....<br /><br />thx
