well the marker light brackets were just tacked on and were in the way of running the wires so I knocked them off with a hammer. the main reason I needed to rewire is they were shorted out because the wire was pinched in a small crack where the marker light brackets were blocking the path the wire needed to pass so they had just wedged the wire in the tiny 1/8" crack with sharp edges between the two ends of angle iron and there was no other place to pass the wire. with the brackets knocked off there is no more obstruction to running the wires safely or that could cause damage to the new wires and there is no visual evidence left that the trailer ever had marker lights.

those are my thoughts too but I wanted to be sure they weren't "required" by law first.

well I agree with your thoughts but as explained just above this quote, the marker light brackets were removed and I wasn't sure if it was required that I should bother drilling a hole and remounting them to put the marker lights back on it.

that's a great idea, I had thought about adding a stick on reflector, but the stick on reflectors I have used in the post didn't impress me with quality and reflection. the reflector tape sounds like the perfect solution
