Looking for 4" round LED brake/running/turn lights.

[newbury]

On my Hudson trailer I've 4" round tailights enclosed by a metal box.

They are the type with 2 bolts on the back to attach to the trailer.

I've been trying to find LED replacements but have not found any 4" round w/ 2 bolts. Most are larger than 4" and don't fit.

I called Hudson parts and talked to a nice guy and he told me they had been searching also and had not found a LED replacement.

Etrailer carries a bunch on their web site but NOT in the 4" (exact) size (4 5/16) with the 2 bolts.

Does anyone know where I may find some?

Again LED, 4" are the critical parameters.

Have you tried square ones to see if they fit?

Sorry man, I'm using mine

Do you need to replace the fixture? Why not just replace the bulb to the new LED's?

I haven't stumbled across a square one that looked like it would fit.
I tried the Harbor Freight offering (4"+, round, 2 posts) but the "turn signal" portion that bumped out was too large.
I may end up cutting those up.

Good idea. One of the fixtures has a slight crack, so I was just going to replace them. I was surprised whrn Hudson said they couldn't find an LED replacement.

Take a look at Redneck Trailer Supply, I found several 4" LED listed in their catalog.

Were those the only offering from HF? I put a set of round LEDs from HF into a square enclosure on my tow behind boom lift a couple years ago. No problems with them. They didn't have a bumped out part on them.

Weld a piece over the back of the light mount then you can drill a hole to put a rubber mounted light in it.

This place has several 4'' round lights. IDK if any of them will work.

What are the dimensions of the box?
Edit, here is a 3" round LED that could work: http://www.amazon.com/Round-Surface-Mount-Brake-Lights/dp/B004NYINMQ
