Great job and a great upgrade. I'm thinkin I need to do this to my new Turbo Bushtec.

Can you send me your parts list and how you did the wiring?

I used 3 sets of lights and the toggle switch from NAPA.
I pulled the lid seal up from the body enough to get the wires in between the carpet and body, front 2 light wires towards the back and the rear light wires going forward than fished them together under the carpet to the back to bring all together under the rear trailer light service cover.
Soldered all positive to a pigtail and the negative to a pigtail.
Soldered the negative to OE inside light assembly and the positive to the  power supply to the OE light harness.
The wires of the LED lights were long enough as they were.
I bought some velcro, self adhesive hook side, 1/2 inch wide by 10 foot and cut it down to 1/4 in wide stuck it on the back of the lights and placed them on the carpet below the seal.
I'll add a picture of the wired switch after work for an idea of how it turned out.

Thank You. I really need this upgrade now.

That looks both good and well done.  I rarely pull my old Roadstar anymore but I think it still needs this done.  Thanks.

To be honest I turn them on each time I walk to the freezer to grab an ice cream bar.
I should have a refrigerator for beer in the garage also.
Should have done this when I first got the trailer.
I'll add pictures of the switch hook up tonight.

Here are a few pictures.
First is a view of the wires being ran under the carpet towards the rear trailer light.
The second shows the wires from under the carpet and running along  the harness to the switch.
This is where I soldered the 3 positive and negative lighting wires to the switch wires.
The negative wire is soldered the the metal bace of the Bushtec inside light.
The switch needs a 1/2 inch hole, I started with 1/4 inch bit and worked my way to 1/2 inch taking it slow so the lens didn't get hot or crack.
The 3rd picture is in the dark.
