Thanks for the info
I was thinking of moving the round light a bit towards the moddle of the trailer..should be flat enough?

I though of that too. You have to be careful how thick the led and grommet is because if you cut the holes too high, you will be in between the inner and outer fiberglass shells. If you mount the lights low enough, you shouldn't have any problems.

Good luck!

Good info,
I might change my plan then!

Looks nice. Since you'll be painting, have you considered grinding down and filling the vertical seam? That would satisfy one less area for possible leaks, grunge attraction and no more Trim-Lok. See Jen's post here for what she did: Rucio's Winter Makeover, roof ridge

How about surface mounted tail lights, then you just need a hole for the wires. I may have mentioned this previously in this thread, I have an extra set of tail lights on my rear mounted bike rack, and when the rack is off I use a bar with extra lights in its place. No excuses for not seeing me or what I'm doing.

I dont like external lights...
I might end up putting the adapter i have and make them "permanent"

Last mod, was actually done last fall but i did not post it here.

Leds around the front and rear windows, makes a nice light by reflexion and are setup with independant switches

Note. Reflection on the pic looks brighter than it really is
