I use this dimmer for LEDs. Will not work for incadescent, too much current.

The newer blue light are awful. Have seen them on a few trailers - please don't do that.

Getting back to the original topic. If the LED use a basic resistor to limit current, a dimmer, either linear or pwm version. However if any of the LED use active current limiting like a switching regulator could be damaged or malfunction if used with a dimmer.
Long and short of it, if any of the LED bulbs have a circuit board with "chips" they're not going to dim well if at all.
My marker lights are fine but the tail lights have active circuitry to manage the LED brightness, switching between running light and brake light modes.

Looks like the neighbor must be equally colorful with that green light flooding in from out of frame.

I think that green light is not from a neighbor but from his palm tree that you can see reflected in the side of his trailer near the front. :B
See lots of those down in Florida during the winter.
