Flashing LED lights and trailer towing safety

Your main concern with the legality of the "flashing amber" warning lights is something that I think you would be unable to use because they are intended for commercial and work vehicles in the process of "working".....there is really no laws anyway that would stop you from driving in certain areas with your 4 way flashers on but with most systems now your brake lights no longer function when your 4 ways are on....

but....what you could do and I recommend for most people with enclosed trailers with the "triple bar light" mounted on the upper rear of the trailer is a center high mounted stop light....they are now available as a replacement for the center light and works as a marker and a brake light....there is a module that can be used to interface it with the existing lights so it isn't too difficult to do.....it gives you a brake light at the highest point on the rear of your trailer and everyone behind you will see it......
