I'm a desk jockey, not a professional trailer backer. When I traded my utility trailer for this car hauler, the lack of tailgate forced me to use only my mirrors which takes me longer to back into its spot. So I used these bar clamps to see when turning around. I know it makes me less of a man lol.

I just use them at the house, not traveling down the road.

Around here. Many of the AT&T trailers hauling the cable machines have LED whips similar to this. They come on with the brakes.

That's a good idea. My trailer looks similar to yours (18') and I cant see it that well behind my Tundra either.

Snag me a set of them!! Or can you or @Neohio makes something or know of something existing? Brake, turn and backup light trailer whips would be awesome.

The back up system on my F150 is a godsend.

I put my tailgate down when backing up my empty trailer and I can see it with no problem. It looks like you have a tonneau cover though.
