Location: Hayward, WI | Going LED is probably never a bad idea, but I agree with Pardee. Sounds like you might have a short or some other wiring issue. I have a 1999/2000 Shoreland'r trailer and have owned it for 7 or 8 years and fish a lot. I almost always unplug the lights and have replaced just a couple bulbs in that time.
I'd suspect a wiring issue, and if not fixed it might give you headaches with LED lights too.
Don't forget about your truck either. I had an intermittent trailer light issue last year with my utility trailer. Did some work to the trailer wiring and still had issues. Hooked it up to my boat and everything worked fine. Still had problems with my utility trailer. Finally looked at the truck and had a wire that had rotted through at a butt connector. Apparently it was making contact just sometimes, or maybe it was easier to push the current through my boat trailer than my utility trailer.
Wiring problems can make a guy pull his hair out sometimes before the problem is found.
