    L.E.D. Lights

    I already have some Bluewater LEDs on my boat but I would like to now put some strip lighting on my trailer,
    My question is how have any of you guys ran the wires seeing it is fully enclosed frame?

After 500 dips in the lake I have lost 2 leds in the white back up light. The red has been flawless CE7BB371-E5EE-498C-8A4E-EE58D4A7B835.jpeg

    I drilled 7/8 inch holes in the trailer, ran a fish from front to back and pulled wires through. The only reason I went that big on the hole is because I had difficulty pulling the wires out with a smaller hole. Stock holes look to be about the same. Just start from the back and run the wires forward, splicing them together as you go. I used butt connectors for all splices. I have 2022 so the splicing at the front was a bit different, but not difficult at all. I also used the Bluewater package and they provide a push button switch in case you want to be able to turn them off.

    After tucking all the wires in, I siliconed 1 1/4 inch black plastic discs over the holes and it looks great. Factory just had grommets for their holes and left openings. I wanted to make mine so no water entered the trailer.
