I have an old '66 fiberglass enclosed trailer. It has round taillights which insert like a cupholder with metal component and a snap ring. When going down bumpy road the ground gives out and being fiberglass isn't always easy to get a good ground. Does anyone know of a replacement either original or something newer?

There is two styles. Here ia a replacement assembly which needs to have screws to hold it in.Round tailight This one has the ring retainer.Other varieties have a rubber grommet to hold them in. Some have a groove to hold into the fiberglass or metal bodies.Does yours have any identifying numbers on the lens?

eTrailer has a large selecton.https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Lights-sf-Tail_Lights-tw-Round.aspx

Hey LOU, look on etrailer.com they have a great selection of LED taillights.

Believe me I want to get out of the Palm Springs, CA area. Wife has Dr appt the 30th and two elective in May the last on 5/20 "IF" CA Gov does not extend no elective procedures. We will be in WA by 5/25.
