I have attached a helpful article that explains what lights are needed for trailers. Putting lights on a trailer are based on the width, length, and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). To find the GVWR you can look on the trailer tongue or frame for a sticker or tag that lists the rating. Here is a list of the lights and markers required for your trailer if it has a GVWR less than 10,000 lbs. Each of the items list their features and sizes that you can use to determine what you want to install.
2 Stop/brake lights
2 Tail lights
2 Turn signals
2 Rear reflectors
1 License plate light
2 Rear side marker lights
2 Rear side reflectors
2 Front side marker lights
2 Front side marker reflectors
2 Rear clearance lights
2 Front clearance lights
Rear identification lights ID lights are often grouped into a single light bar.
The stop/turn/running and license plate light is normally combined in one light assembly.
I have attached a link to our product page for trailer lights. There are several different sizes and styles you can choose from.
