I would think silicone would peel off pretty easy. What about using these with stainless screws.

Spazz: Thanks.. I ordered the clips with adhesive backs.. Trying to avoid putting holes in the trailer. Just more points for rust to sit in. If those don't work I may have no other option but to drill holes and run the wires thru the center.

What type of lights is everyone using to light up the hull.? I need to rewire and re-light a trailer anyway.

Use caution too if you live/travel in a heavy LAW ENFORCEMENT or Revenue generating region.
according to DOT, ALL lights must work. In other words, if you have installed a ton of extra running lights and one is out, it is the same if you only had a single marker/tail light and it is out.
Mostly a revenue and harassment thing. Especially if when the second question out of their mouth is "have you been drinking?" Food for thought......

I'm using leds by XKGLOW. I've had blue ones on my motorcycle for several years and they work great, super bright, get a ton of compliments on them..For the green ones on the trailer Instead of using the quick connects that they come with I soldered and heat shrunk the connections as well as put silicone around the pods just to make sure they are submersible.. I wouldn't trust submersing them straight out of the box.

Mine only come on when dunking the trailer. I wired them through a float switch mounted near rear of trailer. They are not on when driving down the road - and only come on when the park lights are on (and float switch closes).

Speaking of lights , the light bars have gotten pretty cheap, some are still stupid money but this one from Amazon was $55 and is well made and bright as F%$#! 13, 000 lumens.
