Adding reversing lights on to a trailer
All too often I'm getting back home after dark. While I have gotten pretty good about backing the trailer down my darkened driveway, adding some lights to either the truck or the trailer is an increasingly attractive idea....
Looking to see what people have done to do either or both of these ideas.

Your query reminds me that one of them hasn't worked for awhile. I suspect the wire to it was damaged. It's unlikely the light itself failed because they're a sealed unit. I haven't gotten around to fixing it because I so rarely drive the trailer after dark now that I'm retired. It's on my list.
Depending on your placement options, you may wish to consider replacing the existing tail/brake lights with some that have integrated backup lights. That assumes that the extra wire exists, or that the path to add a new wire to the existing location is accessible. My choice of location cuts off the top edge of the light beam but it's very bright, anyway.
