You should not have a problem using the Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 6-Function, Right Hand # ST8RB on the left and right hand sides of your trailer. It would be just a matter of wiring up the lights accordingly. On the # ST8RB there is an arrow that points to a wiring hole with the word Green.
