Trailer lights
 

Was wondering if anyone else has ran LED lights on the inside of the trailer to light up the boat when towing at night, and if it was actually legal? The last couple time Icoming back from the lake has been after dark, and I've had several people coming out from side streets and not notice there was a big ass boat behind me. And we all know 10/20/10 coverage...if they even have insurance at all if going to cover the cost of repairs. So was thinking of other ways to help drivers out at night to recognize the boat other than the yellow side markers on the trailer that they obviously pay no nevermind to anyway.

It's not illegal to run lights on the side, LED or not. You'd have to look into your local laws as to distance between lights. The one thing I do know is you need to run amber in front of the axle, and you can run red behind.

I have several Amber lights down the side and I even have a couple hooked to the brake light circuit where they blink when my turn signal blinks on half of the side lights.

Just be careful, because if it's lit up like a Christmas tree the local Police may ticket you for having "dazzling" lights.

Knock on wood I haven`t been bothered yet.

If you were around here you would be harassed for sure!!

BTW.....LOOKS AWESOME!!

That's exactly what I was thinking!! I see I'm not the only one! Does it help out when loading in the water? I was thinking it would!

I don`t load too often in the dark but yes it does help to know where the trailer is.

That's spot on ICD!! I'm sold!! Had to load in the dark once and that would've made such a huge difference!! Thank you for sharing!!
