I thought they would to be honest but they are no lower than the trailer receiver or the electrical connections and they haven't yet through this winter with 4 foot snow banks everywhere

Well I probably won't be spending the money on those. I was thinking some cheaper fog lights from walmart or something.

You can buy these all day long for about $20-$50. I have 4 of em ( took 2 off because it was ridiculously bright) and there pretty discreet and bright.

Note: those are LED reverse lights I paid $30 for, and you can tell the difference between them and the rectangle LED's in this pic.

I believe orange. The dead center connector on a 7 pin is reverse, so trace that wire.

Yellow = Left turn
Green = Right turn
Brown = Tail/Marker
Blue = Trailer Brakes
Black = +12 volt source (ie breakaway battery charge)
Orange = Backup/Auxillary
White = Ground
