I am currently building a trailer, and can't seem to find any information regarding the legal requirements for the position of the rear lights. Obviously, they go on the back of the trailer(for you wise asses) but are there any regulations governing the height from the ground or the size in from the side of the body etc.
Anyone got any ideas?

you just need two tailight assemblies and one lic plate light, they can below the tailgate, on the tailgate or even on the fenders.

so long as they are right at the back and as close to each corner as possible i dont believe ther is a particular height they have to be at, they have to be as near the corner as possible so approaching vehicles can judge the width of the trailer as accurately as possible.

Check with your local County clerks office or the local DMV
