I just purchased my boat last year and I am already on my 3rd set of trailer lights and now one is going out again. I primarily boat in salt water and always disconnect my lights before dunking. I also rewired the entire trailer last year also attempting to rectify these issues also. I just found out about Dry Launch lights and I believe they use the old style bulbs and not the led style that is being sold now. Anyone ever try them out. I seen a small number of reviews that were satisfied with them.
Here is the website http://www.drylaunch.com/
 
I have no idea about this brands quality but boy oh boy is that web site informative about trailer lighting! An interesting read for sure!
 
The sealed LED lights should be completely waterproof. I had them on my old trailer and new one and never disconnected when dunking them. All wiring was soldered and I used marine heat shrink, maybe the water is migrating up your wires from the connections?
 
Water is definitely getting inside the housing because I can see the water filled inside the lights once I pull out the water. I didn't solder the wires but used heat shrink on them and put liquid electrical tape over them. Just don't think that they are as sealed as advertised and the salt water is killing them. I was thinking of trying a different brand but came along this design. I may try the Dry launch ones out and see what happens.
