My Buzzrack Scorpion is coming up 3 years old. It's brilliant. Except the lights are a bit rubbish. Considering switching them to LED. From memory when a mate did this for me on my old Atera rack, he fitted a load resistor for the indicators. Assume that's still a thing?
Also so many options, I guess if I know they are 12V and bayonet fittings, is there anything else to differentiate the myriad of brands. Finally I probably wouldn't change the reversing or number plate lights, assuming running a mixed incandescent and LED bulb set isn't an issue?
Vaguely related it's good to know there are good spare parts for this range of trailers. Especially a fence crept up and bashed one of the lights at the weekend 😉
If they are the generic square shaped lamp units then you can get replacement LED units from Screwfix or Halfords for about £15 each. I upgraded an old Thule tow-bar rack a few years ago with these and have had no problems using it on multiple vehicles since. No errors or warnings on the dash.
I'll check out screwfix- just need to check length as the indicator bulb is tight to the housing. Expect LED replacement to be smaller tho.
