My wesbar light broke. The light can be found here:
http://www.google.com/patents/US5150959
I've seen this same light on other boat trailers, but never been able to track one down or find an actual model name besides the patent. I've gone through huge numbers of listings and stores and haven't found anything that looks like it would even cover up the drill holes.
The odd thing is, I've never seen what people do when their light goes out. I know that sounds silly, but I went to a whole bunch of stores and no one has one even close to the same size. What do others do when you can't replace the light with the same size? do I fill the holes with spare screws and mount a new light somewhere else? Does someone sell resizing plates or do you make one of your own? I don't want it to look awful, but I don't know what else to do!
This light sits on top of a 5.5" bracket, so a 5.5" light replacement could work too. Most all seem to be 4".
I know its just a trailer, but I try to keep my stuff at least looking somewhat nice.
