Depends on what kind of lenses you have. If they're the standard square trailer lenses you should be able to find them at pretty much any auto parts store or Wallyworld. Beware though. There are two different sizes and they can be tough to distinguish. After two trips I finally had to take one with me.:redface: If you have a more specialized lens (rectangular, LED, etc.) you can probably get what you need at your local marine store or big box sporting goods store (Academy, Gander Mountain, etc.).

Look carefully at the remainder of the light housing and try to identify the name brand. If you find one, then head to your local auto store such as NAPA, O'Reilys, etc. They usually have a good selection of that stuff. If you have a farm store in your area try there. In fact you may find the entire lamp assembly is little more than the cost of the lens.

Agree. Personally I would replace the entire assembly. Not an expensive repair and you know all the connections to it will be shiney and new.

Replace with new lights and wiring, I can buy all of it for under $20.00 and you will not have light problems for many years, your old light sockets are about shot by now.

The width of the boat/trailer determines the type of lights you need. If your over 80" you need the wider lens styles. I've never seen just the lenses for sale since they are normally sealed systems. The full replacement kits can run up to 150.00 if you go LED. Watch out for the cheapos at Wally World and O'reilys. They are usually not marine grade and will blow lamps/fuzes like crazy. I'm sure someone will say I need to unplug my trailer before I launch or retrieve.. I do.. The non marine grade fill with water and take a long time to dry out even if you drill drain holes in them... See, I've tried it. LOL...
