Trailer Back-up Lights Wiring

Mark.....

I have a MUCH better suggestion and solution. Problem with back up lights on a trailer is where YOU are sitting....about 30 feet away from the rear of the trailer. Now I dunno about you, but when I look back there at night, the only thing I can see is the tail lights when I put my foot on the brake...yet doing that still does NOT indicate to me where in the hell I am at...because I cannot see the rear of trailer in the dark.

So you have a LONG driveway? Do you have a Home Depot there or a Lowes? Go buy some LOW voltage landscape light and place them along each side of your driveway...that way you save the hassle of wiring the dern back up lights and save on straining your neck and eyeballs because you STILL can NOT see where in the hell the sides of the driveway is located..Just don't make your driveway look like my neighbor's long side walk....looks like a dern runway.

This is merely a suggestion....

Hey Luggy, guess you have never noticed my trailer, but it has back up lights. I installed them in about ??? 2001 or 2002 I think. They do provide enough light in the dark to make a big help when by yourself. It also lets those behind me who can't read my mind know what is about to happen to them, LOL !! In fact a friend of mine bought a new trailer a couple of years ago and because of my trailer he decided to add them to his build and was glad he did + has had several compliments for having had them.

Kevin....YOU HAVE A TRAILER???? I never knew. Now where would I have seen your trailer? More power to you if you have back up lights. I just try my best NOT to have to back up at night...with the trailer. One could always buy one of those annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP alarms for their trailer to let folks know your intentions. Well what ever, i just thought Mark was concerned about seeing where he was going when he got home.

I just make it a habit NOT to have to back the trailer up in the dark...or if I have to, I wait until I hear a clunk or a HELP!!!!!!

Luigi,

Interesting Idea! I may mock them up before I permanently mount them!

Thanks,
