Having tried a few different types with varying success (most of them took on water eventually) I have found these to be very reliable...

Plus there is an output for an optional number plate light...

Andy, just a word of warning, I had to change my number plate on mine to the horizontal format, the square one hangs down too far & caught the slip when launching or going over speed humps.

Is there anywhere you can buy the whole lot already wired up? Same as what Indespension have just brought out?

Not really, the trend is now to go for a permanent installation with side marker lights etc. The lights stay on the trailer during launch & recovery, you basically wire the trailer up inside the box sections, so you need to make joints etc. You can buy a conventional light board with LEDs, but that defeats to object imho.
