Yea were throwing around that idea. A light on each side of the bumper with a toggle on the dash for those turns at night
Keep eyes peeled

It always amazed me how drivers claim they know the exact rear of the trailer in relation to a curb etc in the pitch black darkness.Now if there’s a full moon, street lights or something like that, ok you can see the curb etc. if not? Don’t give me that BS because You’re not seeing that corner. LOL how do I know this? Because it’s pitch black outside and you’re not seeing anything. True an experienced driver, Just by virtue of having made thousands of turns, can have a pretty good guesstimate where his rear trailer tire will be when he turns. But that’s all it is, IF YOU CANT SEE!

Bout the best thing to do is say it could have been worse and keep going....as long as the credit card doesn’t say declined lol.

We mounted aircraft landing lights, one on each end of the bumper, and turned outward at about 45 degrees. That way you have a light shining ahead of the turn path. We installed the switches on the shift lever.
There's no artificial light where we work and the turn lights really help .Swine hauler, 86scotty, Rideandrepair and 5 others Thank this. -

Put enough chicken lights on a unit and the whole road glows around you... especially with the newest leds.

Some states have sharp curbs that can cut tires easily ... Noticed lot of them in RI .. Mostly curbs done from concrete compared to stone... One of my worries when turning in tight spots
