Expert Reply:
On the trailer it will be easy because you can add 24 volt lights such as # STL23R24B and # MCL66A24B just to name a few.
But to flat tow a vehicle that is a different story. You would need to obtain a voltage reducer device and put one on each circuit ahead of the trailer connector so that it is 12 volts on the output side. We do not carry these devices and from what I know they can be expensive. If you go this route then the trailer would not have to have 24 volt lights.
