I think that's really important, actually.
At night, the trailer lights being close together may send the wrong visual cues to drivers behind you: lights close together are what we're used to seeing on vehicles that are far away. You don't want to potentially contribute to that kind of mis-perception.
basjoos was struck from behind on the highway by a speeding car at night in his Aerocivic, and it's my opinion the close-together taillights may have been a factor. (See his thread - he's since added more conspicuous lighting to give the car more illuminated "width".)
I'll be incorporating conspicuous marker lights on my boat tail in the same position as your OEM lights for that reason.
Other than that... glad to see someone else forging ahead with this kind of project!
