    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has replaced trailer lights with led's. Will they affect warning lights on dash on 05 caddy. Also any good sources online to buy these or best to stick with local parts store. Thanks

    Good led lights will have resisters built in which basically let the vehicle know there are trailer lights hooked up.
    Ive put several sets of led lights on trailers without problem.
    The ones i use are LED branded and are bought from ebay and come down from northern ireland. Ill put a link up later on if you want it.
    They are working out at 100 euro for 3 sets so 33 a set. In the local motor factors they are 50 including vat.
    Though whenever i fit them i do a full rewire with new plug. It rules out problems.
