Expert Reply:

You could use the Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light, # MCL11RKB, as a turn signal light. However, on most trailers, the brake and turn signal lights are usually on the same circuit. If you have this type of trailer, the light will light up with the brakes on.

When turn signals are separate, you might want to consider an amber light, # MCL11AKB, as a turn signal. These lights would probably work well on a motorcycle trailer (a trailer towed behind a motorcycle) but for a regular trailer, I would go with a traditional tail light like # 431800.
