I always unplug my trailer lights as well. My trailer still utilizes the old-school incandescent bulbs...which get hot when in use and once they hit the cold water...that usually pop them. The LEDs are a much cooler burning bulb that doesn't get nearly as hot as the traditional, old-school incandescent bulbs. Yeah...as JohnMD stated....I unplug mine for cheap insurance. I'll be installing all new trailer lights this summer as I've royally beating my trailer's tail lights into an oblivion when backing into winter water with chunks of ice floating about...no...I don't back down and use my trailer to break the ice like I've seen some do. But...large chunks of ice will take it's toll on the lights offloading and loading the boat from the trailer...

(*Note: I live and fish in Indiana where we have no closed season. I speak of fishing late Fall as the shallows around the launches freeze up to get out to open water...)
