I am looking for lights i can mount on my 10ft cargo trailer when backing up into my driveway or other driveways in the night and visibility is very minimal. Do you have anything like this? Thanks

If your trailer has a 7-Way connector and the vehicle side has the center pin active when the vehicle is in reverse then you can install backup lights on the trailer and wire them to the center pin.

You can use 2 of backup light # BUL12CB
2 of grommet # a70gb
2 of bracket # BK70BB
And 2 of pigtail # A49PB

If you do not have a 7-Way but just a 4-Way instead you could wire a utility light such as # TLL48FB in with the running light wire on the trailer and have the utility light run on a switch, such as # PK34513. If it wasn't on a switch the light would be on all the time.
