Hmmmm, thats weird aye. I havent had any problems with any of hella's that i have fitted. But yeah your right about the 'no poxy earth issues'.  Speaking of earth issues, I reckon thats what your up against jim d. Normally the wires are connected as you post ( ie red = brake, Black = earth etc etc). You could always try the spare yellow and green alternatively til you find which wire controls which indicator on which side. Just a process of elimination!! failing that if you cant sort it out, splash out, buy some LED's and fit them. heaps better and no more wiring hassles!!! ( unless you squash your plug again!!!)]]> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:31:11 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=685117&title=trailer-wiring#685117 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=683582&title=trailer-wiring#683582 Author: tobez

dunno mate - just karked it, nothing is immune to salt water - they are most defently the best option tho - just so easy to maintain - no bulbs, no poxy earth issues etc etc..ive started putting a little bead of clear silicone around where the cable goes into the unit..just that little extra for vibration etc ]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:53:46 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=683582&title=trailer-wiring#683582 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=683234&title=trailer-wiring#683234 Author: edge01

I have had LED lamps on three trailers now without any hint of problems with any of them. They should be a standard fitment on all new boat trailers. Im using the hella 'boat trailer pack'. comes with two tail lamps, two side lamps and a number plate lamp. Easy to wire up. a bit dear though at around $250. worth it though i reckon. You have to make sure that the LED's are 'submersible' and multi volt rated. as mentioned above the cheaper versions are only 12 volt. Hella's are 9 - 33 volt capable.]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:37:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=683095&title=trailer-wiring#683095 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=681335&title=trailer-wiring#681335 Author: gregg1

Hello guys the $100 LEDs turned up and fine looking lights they were too. However they were only 12V not dual voltage. The supplier kindly let me return them and promptly refunded my money,awesome service. So I bought some Trojan ones from REPCO they had them on special in their mailer, for those of you who live in Auckland , Smart Marine has them for REPCOS sale price all the time $150. Any how wired them all up on Saturday piece of cake and they look like the Ducks nuts bolted in the back of the old hoskings . ]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:42:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=681335&title=trailer-wiring#681335 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=670771&title=trailer-wiring#670771 Author: CEEBEE

Same problems for me as well constant issues with submeralights got them all going again yesterday (25 knott days are good for trailer maintenance) for the last time have ordered a set of LEDs from WR industries in Warkworth  ($100 a pair Brett imports them himself from overseas) will fit them next windy day and will let you all know how they go .]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:33:54 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=670711&title=trailer-wiring#670711 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=669559&title=trailer-wiring#669559 Author: CEEBEE

Nice one Olfart.....just with regard to the older submersible hella lamps, I have always stripped these down before fitting and siliconed all areas where the salt gets in and have had no problems ever again. Once you see how they are put together, they arent as robust as I thought, once siliconed no future probs, Have also resurrected many sets by stripping / cleaning / siliconing. Very fiddly cleaning corroded wiring and lamp contacts that are so called sealed.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:46:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47150&PID=669559&title=trailer-wiring#669559
