Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use LED light in place of incandescent lights for brake and turn indicators on your trailer however, you will want to replace them all for continuity sake.
Although both LED and incandescent lights work off of 12 volts, the incandescent lights pull more amperage and may burn the LED lights out prematurely if you mix LED and incandescent lights.
I have attached a brief video review of the Optronics Oval LED Light # STL78RB that you referenced.
