Need model# of trailstar light bulb

[Paul Welc]

Help, I have a 2005 tracker Trailstar trailer and one of the bulbs has burned out. I removed the bulb but the model number is hard to read. It looks like it says 115712v32/30p when I search the Internet with that number nothing comes back.



Is this a bulb I can get at an automotive store or am I going to have to drive the 45 miles to the nearest tracker dealer?



Thanks in advance.

1157 should be available at any automotive dept. It use to be a alot in cars.

Thanks Carl,



I didn't know if they sealed a trailer bulb different than a car bulb, since the trailer bulb gets submerged in water.

1157 is the one. There isn't anything special about them. You can, however, put some silicone around the base of the glass bulb where it meets the metal base and also use some dielectric grease on the base of the bulb where it meets the socket. That's about all you can do unless you go to LED's, but that's a little more expensive than just buying a light bulb!
