You can use the CE Smith Trailer Tail Light Protector - Aluminum Tread Plate # CE26051A on a steel trailer. Since they are dissimilar metals, over time some corrosion can occur of course so you may want to back the light protector with what is called barrier tape, or barricade tape, which can be found at local hardware stores.
Otherwise, you there is an option for a steel guard, the Light Guard - Unpainted Steel # LG440NP which is a similar dimension.
I have added links to video reviews of both light protectors for you to check out.
