Trailer tail lights

Has anyone use the LED lights?

My trailer lights not only burn out, the sockets rust out.

Even unpluging the lights, My housings suck and fill with water so even if the bulb does not blow, over a month, I have to replace the socket inside because they are rusted out.

The new LED's are all sealed, and seem perfect!
I'm just looking for the catch? Anyone know of a downside?

My Brother has them on his boat trailer. He says there fine, he has never had a problem with them. I think they are sealed up.

I put them on my trailer last spring and have had no problem other than they filled with water but they still work and the company said just send them back and they will replace at no charge FOR LIFE

My brother and I upgraded our trailer lights to LEDs in Aug last year. Haven't had any problems so far and I think the LEDs provide better lighting capability than standard. So far, these have remained dry on the inside. I'll probably seal around edges anyways at the start of this season.

Plus, 10 yr warranty.
