Me personally, on a steel tube boat trailer, (if that's what yours is) I'd hate anything that involves drilling holes whether for screws or those 3/4" diameter marker light holes.
Like Then there are These that mount with double sided tape. There are all kinds of variations if you search on Ebay.
You could always mount the ones you linked with tape also. Appears they already have it. Except for the wire hole.

Yup. It’s a Heritage trailer, 2X6” box tubing.
I hear ya. And I’ve chewed on that a bit. But the frame rails are already open on both ends for wiring. I think I can get away with 5/8” holes for wire access and small drill and tap for mounting screws. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t actually be compromising anything that isn’t already compromised.
Thanks. Brad.

Curious - towing with these on or just sitting? If towing, any issues with getting stopped? In VA you'd probably get a good talking to.
I do like the idea of lights on the inside of the trailer to light things up though.

I've towed from pa to 1000 islands without any hassle, mine are wired with the lights, but I did add a quick disconnect just in case
these are Amazon 2 diode LEDs and are bright and have lasted over 4 years now

I hadn't thought of that, but I know I've seen boats being towed, cruising down the highway with them on. I'll look into it.
I would be putting them on the inside of the frame rails.
Thanks. Brad.
