Oh - my personal 5x10 trailer is now getting the light treatment. More updates coming on that.

- LED tail lights and marker lights
- Underbody and reverse lights (via remote and truck)
- Deck lights (via remote)
- Toolbox light

Maybe some other stuff. Waiting on a couple things from Amazon and then some daylight to finish it up.

So - my best buddy is a bit extra. His toys have 'too much' horsepower, he has all the coolest guns, all the neatest tools.

Well, he had to have the most fun car trailer too. He had been gathering up odd and end lights over the last few years and I finally brought his trailer home with me to lace it all out. I installed an Auxbeam 8 switch panel with wireless remote to control the front work lights, rear work lights, underbody lights, amber / white warning lights (two on each side and two in the rear, wired to flash in sync with each other), as well as control the in and out functions on the winch.

It's a bit extra - and we love it. I also installed a trickle charger in the tongue box along with a shoreline receptacle to plug it in neatly.

Enjoy. Lots of pictures attached to show the various lights / combos of lights turned on and off. Can control everything from your driver seat with no additional wires running up to the truck. I am going back and adding relays in the trailer box to also allow the underbody lights and rear work lights to function in reverse.

Looks great, having had to load my ATVs in the dark a few times I can see this as a real benefit. About the only suggestion I'd give, is build a cage for those round lines on the corners, those are going to be easy target for a number of potential issues.

We knew it could be a potential issue, then a few months ago my buddy loaded a dually on the trailer and not only ran over one of the work lights, but he smashed the entire tail light box off of the trailer - so there is no marker light, tail light OR work light on that corner currently.

He didn't just get it with the outer dual.

He ran both duals completely off the trailer - over the box.

So - we'll be reworking that eventually.

Oops. Things happen. I was backing the tractor into a tight spot and whacked a deck post. Still structurally fine, but much less pretty now.
