The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 will install using automotive grade adhesive tape and will plug directly into a 4 way trailer connector.

If you don't already have that 4 way connection, I recommend the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 60" Wire Lead # C58044. If you need to test functions of your wires behind the tail lights of your trailer, I recommend using circuit tester # PTW2993 before installing your quick splice connectors.

I've attached a trailer wiring article which includes diagrams to assist.

There are a handful of things that you need to check but the first thing you need to do is make sure that you are getting power to the LED light(s). If you can verify this and then let me know what kind of LED light we are talking about I can maybe offer some more insight.
