I think there are,  but I was considering adding auxiliary lights below the
bumper as you suggest.  They are helpful, but marginal.  A set of halogen
bulbs in the original lights might be all it needs, however.  If I put
auxiliaries on, I'll face them somewhat to the side (maybe at a 45 degree
angle).

Definitely Lexan. It's the strongest. A rock could go right thru pexiglass.
Lexan would be "bullet-proof"! It was about $30 for the piece I got. I used
clear so I could see through the trailer. I like that.
