Hello this is my first post

I would like to install led flood lights to the rear of my trailer with a separate rocker switch located near the battery in front of the trailer. My thought is that I will be able to flood the area I'm trying to back into.
I would like to know thoughts on the best way to install something like this... Should I run the wire under the carriage or snaking it between the roof and ceiling?

Funny how off topic everyone gets..
OP wants to install the switch and lights on the trailer. Not the switch on the truck and lights on the trailer. Or both lights & switch on the truck.

Do Trailers have to get annual DOT inspections? Pretty sure not.

And besides that having both the switch and light on the trailer make it pretty hard to activate the light while driving.

If you are worried about it, but some lights with covers, then leave the covers on until you need them. Pretty hard for DOT to argue with covers, and it will protect your lights.

Personally, I would install the lights under the trailer. It would give you a better perception of the terrain, by creating shadows which would show the dips/highs of the terrain. If you lights are on top of the trailer, you won't see the dips/highs as well..
