The trailer for my 1988 Catalina 22 is equiped with Wesbar lights with the waterproof lightbulb assembly. They call it a sealed capsule. While trying to get ready for the first sail this year I tested the lights. The passenger side lights work while the driver side lights do not. When I removed the lens I noticed moisture, enough to form a couple of drops, on the lens and light bulbs. Since these are suppossed to be sealed, I assume this may be the problem and may simply need to replace the one sealed capsule. Any thoughts?

I can't figure out what is meant by sealed light. I purchasedthe more expensive sealed lights and had the same moisture you mentioned in the lights after one use.
The lense had a rubber gasket but air access hole, go figure?

I have a set of fancy LED lights from West Marine that I put on my trailer about a year ago.

On both lights about 1/2 of the LEDs are not lighting.

Are they replaceable? As anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks,

Rick
