If you have STATE DOT SAFETY INSPECTIONs this may not fly... All kinds of DOT rules for mounting lights on the rear of the trailer... You can mount all you want on the rear sides of the trailer but not on the rear wall or bumper unless they are DOT type approved lights and lense and only come ON when you go into reverse.
I have no idea what the rules are for lighting up the TURN LANE with external lights... If it is going to blind on-coming traffic I suspect it will not be approved...
I had to remove my BUMPER REAR LIGHTS on the spot during my yearly Safety Inspection or fail inspection. DOT Inspection did not say mounting lights was not allowed just that I was not using DOT approved types.
Install was similar to these shown in this GOOGLE Image.
Mine were wired to come ON from a switch instead of going to REVERSE using the tow vehicle. I also did not have an DOT number etched into the lense.
I am NOT an armchair attorney - Just a poor corn field hick from Horse Creek Country in Illinois.
Just saying... Check with your local DOT State Inspection Station before spending a bunch of monies...
