  hiya       i fitted front marker lights on our tt when we had it .

              you could always fit a easy park on your rear windscreen .

Its a good job the HGV drivers don`t do this as the motorways would be lit up like Blackpool Illuminations at night.Something tells me you would realise whether the trailer was attached to vehicle or not..

and which way up.

If you go down tape route don`t use red or orange you find your self in a bit of bother, white for front orange/amber for sides and red for rear.

You`ll feel it if it starts to wag, don`t worry. You`d have to be driving a massive car towing a tiny trailer not to feel it.

Why not get one of those lights you crack and they glow for around 10hrs stick it on your tt where you can see it through your windscreen (as long as the tt is as high as the boot of your car)or on the side so it can be seen through your wing mirrors not that my wife would notice she thinks wing mirrors are there to obstruct her view im sure.lol.

Do you mean when going backwards or forwards?

When going forwards you know where it is because it's behind you.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
