New trailer light choices

Curious why you want more lights? To me would be more of a hassle when they go out or break a lens. Something I have interest in is what did you order for interior lighting and accessories. I have a 2008 Haulmark 36' gooseneck that I am setting up for my sled hauler. Thanks

Hey guys, I ordered a new 32' gooseneck and I have a week left before I can't add or change anything. I was wondering what guys/gals have done with exterior trailer lighting. I've added an extra set of tail lights, side turn signals on the fenders, back up lights, loading lights at the ramps, and 2 extra running lights on each side. That gives me 5 on the box and two up in the front on the side of the gooseneck. I was wondering if anyone had any pics of their trailer light setups. I want to add more running lights, possibly a second row on the lower part of the side to match the upper. For whatever reason, on my print they didn't space the side running lights on the gooseneck either, not sure if it is a legality issue with it being narrower than the box or if it is a looks issue being my gooseneck has a slight taper. I would prefer the running lights to be spread evenly across the full length of the trailer. I'm waiting to hear back on that. Any opinions and ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Bill

1. Consult local laws and regulations: Before adding any additional lighting to your trailer, make sure you are complying with all relevant laws and regulations in your area. This includes requirements for the type, placement, and visibility of lights.

3. Look for inspiration online: You might find some inspiration by searching online for images of other trailer light setups. Look for examples that are similar in size and style to your own trailer, and consider how you could adapt these designs to suit your needs.
4. Experiment with different placements: Once you have a general idea of the type of lighting you want to add, experiment with different placements to see what works best. You might try placing temporary lights in different locations to get a sense of how they look and function.
5. Consider hiring a professional: If you're not confident in your ability to add lighting to your trailer yourself, consider hiring a professional to do the job for you. They will have the expertise and equipment to ensure that your lights are installed safely and correctly.
