Aren't the new trailex enclosed equipped with LEDs? I would email them and ask what they use in terms of lights, or find someone who has a newer one.

Default Been there, done that :-)

Just went thru the modes on my '99, got LEDs from eTrailer, rear lights and running lights.

Depending on tow vehicle, may need load resistor to emulate 12v bulb draw/burnt out tester.

(7) 47-58-031 Bargman LED Clearance/Side Marker with Pigtail
(2) 47-58-032 Bargman LED Clearance/Side Marker with Pigtail - Amber
(2) 47-84-008 Bargman LED, Recessed, Double Tail Light - 84, 85 Series - Red LED, Incandescent Backup - Black Base
(2) MCL63CRB Sealed, Miro-Flex, Thin Line, LED Trailer Marker, Clearance or ID Light, 4 Diode - Red w/ Clear Lens and
(2) Amber, plus bases (4) Miro-Flex (can't find part #s)

Running and marker lights are slightly larger then stock units, could not find exact match in size. Drilled new fender holes for running new wire (location didn't match old holes)

Also updated Trailer Jack.

F1413100334 Fulton F2 Swing-Up Trailer Jack with Dual 7" Wheels, Sidewind -1,600 lbs - No Mounting Hardware

And while I was at it added:

TWSPJCA Tow-Rax Aluminum Storage Cabinet w/ Folding Tray - 23" Tall x 12" Wide - Machined Finish

For the tails, I've been happy with these. $40 for four and they are much brighter than the incandescents they replaced. Up close they look kind of dim, but step back a car length or two, and they are very bright even in bright sunlight.

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for.

I've got a pair of the trays already and fold down table on the other side.

Where are you using... MCL63CRB.

On the fenders, 2 red and 2 amber, plus you need the base (4) A65PB.

I had already replace the Amber (so was not on order I pulled numbers from) originals with MCL63CAB and had got 4 bases A65PB at that time too.
