Thread: LED Lights on the back of the trailer

I've never done it but there is no reason it wouldn't work.

I've done it to other trailers, but I haven't done it to mine yet.

One suggestion is to put a toggle switch on it so you can turn them off when not needed. There are times when going in reverse that you do not want them on.

That is what I done to mine and it works out great.

Great idea , and would be easier too

Wouldn't be hard if you already run a 7 pin trailer plug, most of those already have a pin for a reverse wire.

I've never had a need for it, the ramps around here generally have enough lights to load after dark.

I don't want them for the boat ramps, I want them for backing into the barn.

I have an LED motion activated flood light in the carport where I park my boat. Soon as I pull up it comes on, makes backing pretty easy. 12 bucks on Ebay.

I installed a 7 pin harness and two 7 bulb LED's on my boat trailer. I use them for backing down the ramp, into the garage day or night, and campsite at night. When I put the truck in reverse, they light up.

I mounted one LED on the last trailer cross brace to see behind the trailer. I mounted the 2nd LED light behind the a-frame on the trailer. This way I can see the trailer tires so I don't hit anything while backing up. They work great at night, especially at the campground.
