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?

If you're just having a ground issue you can always run a dedicated ground wire to the frame.

I had a 1972 love Bug which is similar to a Scamp. The taillights were mounted on a fiberglass bubble that was mounted on the trailer. I replaced the corroded original lights with LED assemblies that each was wired with dedicated wires that were fed all the way to the plug that attached to the tow vehicle. Every light was directly wired to a ground wire that was connected to the frame and the tow vehicle. Every connection was soldered and shrink wrapped. Never had a problem with my lights in the 10 years that I owned the trailer.v I got the LED lights from a local farm supply shop.
