    Submersibles are just that, but not necessarily waterproof. Some are wide open on the bottom and rely on air pressure inside to keep the water away from the bulb. It works on paper but not very well in the real world. It seems the bulbs always have to be greased or replaced often. The best thing to do is spend the bucks and go with the proper LED trailer lights. I just finished putting a set on my tin boats trailer as the ones I installed on the salt water trailer are still working fine after ten+ years of regular immersion. The LED’s and their circuitry are encased in epoxy or something so they should last for a long, long time.

    Any chance of installing LED’s in the original Gator housings?
