One business that offers the solution is uktrailerlights. co.uk. Their plug is virtually crushproof, with re-enforced braided cable, waterproof fittings and LED lamps resultingin a lighting system that can be fitted without the use of screwdrivers, side cutters, connecting block or insulating tape.
