Your videos and blog are seriously so helpful! My rig is right around the same age as yours and I get to have many of those same issues. I really need to do this, I’ve had people flag me down because they couldn’t see my incandescent lights on a sunny day, and that’s scary.
I wish your video was out a week ago. I just purchased some LED bulbs for my trailer and they didn’t work very well. I will try your conversion. Great video!
hello from Windsor Ontario. By far the coolest LED upgrade I have seen. I have a Hybrid trailer and the tail lights have a rounded bottom so no LED lights would fit without modifying the housing.. This idea allows me to keep the curved bases.. Thank you. I clicked subscribe to see the other great ideas.
I’ve been having the same issue. All the LED lights have a smaller foot print. I found a set on sale at princess auto for $25. I’ll be using your method. Thanks for sharing.
I have a stick on led light bar thingy on the back of my van and it plugs in the trailer flat 4 pin connector it's a good setup for 29.00 bucks at Walmart
@1:53 the incandescent bulb looks very dim, like a low voltage issue. Where are the bulb/holder assemblies from the upper half? Where they not installed from the beginning? Maybe you left that part out. I only see two wires to the incan bulb but you show three which you would need for tail/turn to the led. Used to be federal guidelines on exterior lighting. Older vehicles benefit from led upgrades but you may have signal issues as not enough current draw to flasher.
There never was anything installed in the upper half. Here is a past video where I replace the OEM assemblies with new - ruclips.net/video/vEYYQyMNFFs/видео.html The third wire was attached to the metal bracket that held the incandescent bulb. It was the ground return. No signal issues since my 2018 truck uses a electronic flasher module suitable for LED bulbs vs the old mechanical ones. Cheers, Ray

Looks great. I think even the license plate light upgrade will help get you noticed at night.

Awesome!
Great mod Ray, I was hoping they would’ve had the arrows that light up consecutively by now😜

Great mod Ray. I just used a replacement led bulb. Seems to work well & is way brighter than the incandescent bulb. Maybe next year I'll upgrade.
Nice mod ray I also converted all my lights to led I purchased mine at Fraserway rv with reverse they were pretty reasonably priced thanks
Looks great!

You're welcome from Vancouver Island, BC. :)

You the man RAY
Nice work. Have you thought about adding a high-level brake light in the center?
Haven't thought about it. It would have to be really high to be above the window. Could be a chore to try and fish the brake wire up there.
Dang, you are a very handy guy! Will you be heading down to the southwest US again this winter? Whatever your plans, hope you both have safe travels😊
That's the plan come November :)
Looks good Ray. I assume all new campers come with LEDs so this mod works great on older units.
Nice hack.

Love the idea. - The diffusion pattern looks aweful in the video.
Do you think you can add a translucent diffuser between the leds and the lens?
Could do, but in real life they are acceptable as good or better than the OEM bulb and way brighter. Cheers, Ray
Noticed I had one of the lenses the left one on upside down. :)
@@LoveYourRV That's why they looked different - lol
Are you heading South this Season
Yes
Hi Ray, as you well know, led isn’t very waterproof so better get out the old silicone just in case…cheers 🥃🥃
Yeah, a little bead should do the trick once I'm sure everything is working well.

@@LoveYourRV Not sure where my brain is today. Oh well...
