Looks good. I wonder what 6 lights would look like? 3 up top, and 3 along the bottom.

yes. The lights normally would ground to the trailer they are bolted on. I unscrewed the two small Phillips screws and took off the white back, and soldered a ground to each lift on the small metal piece on the back and grounded them

This mod looks great! Seems like the rectangular shape would look best but what size? The ones I see locally are around 1" x 2".

Any thoughts on just splicing say three of these led lights directly into the running light wiring so that they just go on/off with the running lights? will that over draw power and blow the fuse? Thanks
