I see you were looking at the Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL64RB which has a white ground wire, red turn signal wire and black brake light wire. With these or a light which uses studs to ground them you will simply want to run a separate ground wire for the lights along with the power wires. This will allow you to easily remove the lights since there will not be a separate ground wire ran to the trailer frame.

If you can better explain which lights and how you want everything set up I can better provide you with a list of parts needed.
