Review on Blazer C7280 LED Trailer Light Kit - Low Profile & Submersible for Superior Performance by Michael Hogate

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent headlights. Beware of poor quality license plate holder

Very nice headlights. I used them to replace old light bulbs on a 1996 boat trailer. After being submerged in water over a dozen times, they still appear to be crisp and all the lights work. They are bright enough that I don't turn off the lights when launching/towing the boat. The advice to disable boat trailer lights is incorrect when replacing LEDs (I replaced all trailer lights with LEDs). Yes, a hot bulb immersed in cold water can often cause the bulb to burst from thermal shock, but that's not the case with LEDs, which are solid-state bulbs already sealed with waterproof plastic are epoxy coated. I only gave 4 stars because the included license plate holder is complete junk. The wafer-thin plastic bracket completely broke off shortly after installation (I don't know exactly when, because we had absolutely no idea where and how it even happened). We also lost our license plate which cost us over $10 to replace at the local DMV. Save yourself the hassle and buy another metal license plate holder and throw the one that came with these lights in the trash. It would be an easy 5 star rating if the license plate bracket was stainless steel or aluminum.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • poorly thought out
