I've got an 18' dovetail car hauler. my son managed to knock the center clearance light out loading a car with hanging exhaust. I've looked everywhere I can think of to find a replacement. The original had a nice chrome metal cage to protect the lens, I can find the lens, but not the metal protection piece. I'd be willing to replace the entire 3 light cluster with something a bit more modern, but the metal cages seem to have gone away. I guess I can resolve myself to something cheap and easy to change, & just accept that as part of the cost of ownership. The originals have survived since the year 2000. Any suggestions?

Optronic Armored Clearance LED

The armored LED's cost about twice as much as regular LED's (with decent output). When updating a trailer, I got a few feet of aluminum channel, cut to length, rounded the edges and drilled to mount Optronics' Thinline Miro-flex LED's. They are a standardized size and very common, the LED's from any mfg will fit the sockets.



These LED's are very bright, and the clear ones are a match for uncoated aluminum channel.

That would tick all the boxes, thank you.
