What Is Needed To Upgrade Trailer Tail Lights to LED
Question:
I am curious about converting a set of incandescent tail/turn signal light over to LED on an older camper. Are they a direct replacement or does something need to be added to the wiring? The camper is a 2007 Coachman Clipper being towed by a 2018 Ford Flex with a powered tail light module to take the load off the electrical system. Thank you.

Generally speaking, you can simply replace the incandescent tail light assemblies with LED tail light assemblies without any additional wiring. Almost all aftermarket tail light wiring and most factory harnesses accept both incandescent and LED so you don't have to worry about adding resistors. For a set of LED trailer tail lights, I recommend the Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights part # TLL160RK but I have attached our entire selection below if you have a different style.
