Adding Back - Up lights
I can't hardly believe my trailer came with out back up lights! I'm going to intercept the Yellow Wire in my 7 wire cord where it goes into the trailer. Then I am running some 1/2" EMT from the front...

Just be mindfull that any of the DOT Safety lights have requirements on both the lenses and the installed location of lights... There will be a DOT number stamped into the lens. Backup lights general have to come ON only when you are in reverse and not from a toggle switch on your dash somewhere...
I would check with the local DOT/DMV guys and see if what you are purchasing and doing will pass safety inspection...
I installed some lights once and had to remove them to be able to pass safety inspection...

Counterpoint: toy haulers and horse trailers that have rear facing loading lights. They are all on toggle switches. That's how they came from the manufacturer. And they are brighter than backup lights.
