Expert Reply:

The Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL31AB only has one light function so it will act as only a side marker light or a turn signal on your camper. We do have the Miro-Flex LED Trailer Side Marker Light and Mid-Ship Turn Signal # MCL48AB which will act as both the marker light and turn signal. Since trailer wiring combines turn signals and brake lights these lights will also come on when the brakes are activated. To prevent this from happening you would need to add the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196 to separate the turn signals. Each circuit will also require a Resistor # P230004A since the converter is only designed to work with incandescent lights and will not function properly with only the low voltage needed for the LED lights.
