Many drivers experience flickering lights, dashboard warning messages, hyper-flashing indicators or intermittent trailer lighting faults when towing. These problems are often linked to modern vehicle CANbus systems and low-current LED lighting.
The Lucidity 68007 LED Fault Eliminator has been designed to help overcome many of these common LED compatibility problems.

Why LED Trailer Lights Sometimes Cause Problems
Modern vehicles continuously monitor trailer lighting circuits. Traditional filament bulbs draw a higher electrical load than modern LED trailer lights. Because LED trailer lamps use less power, some vehicles incorrectly interpret the lower current draw as a bulb failure.
This can result in:
- Dashboard bulb warning messages
- Rapid indicator flashing or hyper-flash
- Trailer detection faults
- Flickering caravan lights
- Intermittent LED trailer lighting faults
- Brake, indicator or marker lights not behaving correctly
This is particularly common on modern vehicles with sensitive towing electrics, including SUVs, vans, hybrid vehicles and some electric vehicles.
What Is the Lucidity 68007 Fault Eliminator?
The Lucidity 68007 Fault Eliminator is a plug-and-play LED load device designed to improve compatibility between a towing vehicle and trailers fitted with LED lights.
It works by simulating the electrical load expected by the towing vehicle, helping modern vehicles recognise LED trailer lights correctly.
The 68007 can help with common issues such as:
- LED trailer light flickering
- CANbus dashboard warning messages
- Trailer light compatibility faults
- Hyper-flashing indicators
- Intermittent caravan light faults
- Modern vehicle low-load detection issues
Why Heatwaves Can Highlight Trailer Lighting Faults
Hot weather itself does not usually cause LED trailer lights to fail. However, UK heatwaves can reveal existing problems within trailer electrics, connectors, earth points and towing sockets.
During warmer weather, caravans and motorhomes are often taken out after long periods of storage. This means plugs, sockets, wiring and lighting systems may not have been tested properly for several months.
Common heatwave and summer towing problems include:
- Corroded trailer plug pins
- Loose earth connections
- Damaged trailer wiring
- Older caravan lighting systems
- Incompatible LED trailer lamps
- Vehicle CANbus warning messages
Before setting off, always carry out proper towing safety checks, including lights, tyres, brakes, hitch security and load security.
How to Install the Lucidity 68007
The Lucidity 68007 is designed to be simple to use. It is a plug-and-play product, meaning there is no complex rewiring required in most standard applications.
Basic Installation Steps
- Park the vehicle and trailer safely on level ground.
- Switch off the vehicle ignition before connecting.
- Connect the Lucidity 68007 between the vehicle towing socket and the trailer plug.
- Ensure the connection is secure and correctly seated.
- Test all trailer lights before travelling.
- Check indicators, brake lights, rear lights, fog lights and marker lights.
- Confirm any dashboard warning messages have cleared.
If problems continue after fitting, further checks may be needed on the trailer earth, towbar wiring, plug condition or LED lamp compatibility.
Who Is the 68007 Suitable For?
The Lucidity 68007 can be useful for a wide range of towing users, including:
- Caravan owners
- Motorhome users towing trailers
- Horse trailer owners
- Boat trailer users
- Plant trailer operators
- Commercial trailer fleets
- Trailer manufacturers
- Towbar installers
- Workshops and repair centres
- Agricultural and utility trailer users
It is especially useful where modern vehicles are towing trailers fitted with LED rear combination lamps, LED marker lights, 12V trailer lights or commercial trailer lights.
Common Mistakes When Trying to Fix LED Trailer Light Issues
Many drivers try to fix LED trailer lighting problems by replacing lamps or changing adapters without understanding the cause of the fault.
Common mistakes include:
- Assuming the LED lamp is faulty
- Ignoring poor earth connections
- Using cheap adapters that do not solve CANbus compatibility
- Not testing all trailer lighting functions before travelling
- Failing to inspect the trailer plug and vehicle socket
- Using non-roadworthy trailer lighting
A fault eliminator may help where the problem is caused by low LED current draw, but regular trailer maintenance and electrical inspection remain important.
Legal Requirements and Trailer Lighting Safety
Trailer lighting must be road legal and working correctly before travelling. Faulty caravan lights, failed indicators or missing marker lights can create a serious safety risk and may lead to enforcement action.

Before every journey, drivers should check:
- Indicators
- Brake lights
- Rear lights
- Fog lights
- Number plate lights
- Trailer marker lights
- Reflectors
- Electrical plug and socket condition
Why Quality LED Trailer Lighting Matters
High-quality LED trailer lights offer excellent visibility, low power consumption and long service life. They are commonly used on caravans, commercial trailers, plant trailers, boat trailers and horse trailers because they are reliable and efficient.
Good quality LED trailer lighting can offer:
- Improved visibility on the road
- Reduced maintenance
- Lower power consumption
- Longer lamp life
- Better vibration resistance
- Improved durability
- Waterproof and IP67 trailer light options
However, quality products and correct compatibility are both important. A premium LED lamp still needs to work correctly with the towing vehicle’s electrical monitoring system.
