      In my experience this intermitent working lights are due to bad grounds. You just have to be willing to find it.

        PVC guide lights in LED will reduce your problems by 200%...if you have sound wiring!

          i switched to the LED lights & grounded the lights to the trialer instead of trying to use the ball & tounge as a ground & that fixed my issues.

            All my wiring connections are inserted into 1 1/2" pieces of PVC filled with silicone. That and another direct ground to the truck works for me. I'm not going to stop and take my lights off & put 'em back on every time I launch!

              I did the same but on the metal square tubing that I ran the wires down from the lights...I also got under the truck and secured one end of a 14 guage wire to truck, with an alligator clip on the other...I just clip it to whatever I'm hualing for exra precaution....I too have been burned by the man. Ironically, when he pulled me over pre new leds...my lights really were working when I left the driveway!(for once)

                      It's never too late to learn something...like reading a thread completely!

                            Kinda like this one. Didn't read entire tread, and thinks horizon trailer is still in business
