I installed an green LED (very bright) bulb (running light) to the 5th wheel area that I can see behind my truck bed (with the rear view mirrors)so that I know whether or not the pigtail has connection to the actual 5th wheel or if it it has become disconnected while traveling. I put a lot of wood in my bed and sometimes it shifts, pulling the trailer connector out of the socket. The brake controller light is blocked by the angle of the steering wheel and I am always checking my mirrors. Thus, if the running light is off, then I am not connected.
