It is amazing how many trailer lights don,t work. Especially Boat and utility trailers.

I don't believe I have ever bought a boat or a trailer where the signal lights worked like they should.
The
Scamp trailer had a set of magnetic
tail lights attached to the rear bumper with
electrical tape. For extra insurance I guess. However, they didn't work, and when I got the
Scamp home I found cut wires int he lights harness.
When I tried to repair the wires I found that the size of the copper (?) wires inside the lines was so small I wasn't able to strip the instulation away without cutting the wires in two! I plan on completely rewiring the lights with heavier gage wire.
On the last two Harbor Freight trailers I assembled, I didn't even bother mounting the lights. I just attach my aluminum light bar to the rear of the cargo, boat, etc, and go on my way! Lights have always worked, but I do store the light bar inside when not in use.
