Sounds like you need a resistor adapter. It will trick your trailer lights into getting the proper voltage to work. Worked in my case anyway.
Seems a very related issue to RVs and an articulate question to boot.
Do you think wired LED trailer lights, assuming the OP or yours were incandescent, would solve the problem?
