Replacing the lights with LED Stoplights will greatly reduce problems with the lights.
They don't require much current, so stay Bright..
About the only real complaint I have is they don't make any Heat to melt the Snow of them..!!

Yeah no heat is my biggest complaint with the LED lights and living in Alaska it is a real pain in the posterior; it don't even need to be snowing for them to pack up with snow. Although, I do like the amount of light they put out in the warmer months.
The best idea I have had with wiring trailers is to use extension cords they are double insulated and use over sized ground wires and lots of them. If you use the cheep butt connecters solder them using resin core solder only (acid core causes corrosion - the death of wires). I also use junction boxes at major junctions and place them inside the frame channel. Doing it this way is a pain but only one time, and always remember to leave a couple extra wires for future use. One last thing is to clean the grounding spots well and use the stuff electricians use on main power leads coming into a junction box, I forgot the name of it but it is an anti-corrosive cream and comes in a 1/4 or 1/2 oz tube.
I have also seen people use a dab of silicone on the connections once they were done which I thought was a good Idea as well.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
