going to add reverse lights to my trailer this year. My thought is to use the white led strip lights used on the back of pickups. it is self sticking, low profile and bright. I am considering wiring off a switch so when parked and disconnected from the truck I can use the lights for seeing behind the camper during the stay. I will run a hot line to camper system and install a switch either outside or right inside the camper door.
You might want to test out those lights in the dark before you install to see how far you will see with them. I worked with LED's since the 80's and found that while they are very bright when looked at, they often don't project light very well, especially over any distance. It's in the way they are manufactured.
