Anyone have a good affordable source for LED stop/turn/tail and marker lights for trailers? I don't have any trouble finding them, but most places are extremely proud of them. I realize they're going to be more expensive than incandescent lights, but $40 per light seems a little steep to me.

Oh, and if you enter "C2W" in the promo code box when you checkout I believe you will get 10% off.

Does Missouri require a lighted trailer plate??

actually I think WA does to (I know they do for vehicles) but mine never has and I've been followed/passed stater's a couple of times but no one has ever made and issue of it.

Heck, my plates riveted/wrapped around my fender. Has never seemed to me an issue.

Seems to me cops are generally happy/grateful if trailers are properly lit and not falling apart. I think at least half the trailers on the road these days don't mean one of those two requirements.

I think it also has to do with the fact that different states' requirements vary so much. Some states don't require you to tag/register trailers at all, while others are very strict.

Yeah.... they're supposed to be. But in the last 5 years, none of my trailers have had a lighted plate and I've never been hassled by the man. Hell, I even got away with blazin' down I-80 doing 75+ coming out of Sacremento. I was wondering why people kept looking at me funny as I passed them or they passed me. Wasn't until I was out of CA before I found out that they have a trailer speed limit of 55. :homer::flipoff2:

I looked at every link posted here in this thread.... thanks for all the links!

I ended up going with LED-R-US. They had the stuff I was looking for at the best prices for what I was looking for and on top of that there was no sales tax AND they're running a special right now... free shipping on orders of $75 or more.

I got 61-LED oval s/t/t grommet mount lights for the same or less than what most places are selling 10-LED lights.

I also picked up a bunch of 9-LED 2" round grommet mount marker lights for less than I could find 3-LED 2" lights on other sites (they're marked down right now).

While I was at it, I also picked up all new 3-LED surface mount marker lights for the camper (these were also marked down right now).
