Barry, have you considered just adding turn filaments to the trailer ? If
it's got a flat surface you can poke holes in, you could even use a pair of
L594 lamps (which seem appropriate to me). But if not, any auto parts store
should have a "clearance lamp" assembly that takes a similar beehive lens,
and will accept an 1156 turn signal bulb.
To answer your question, I believe you will need to switch to a "load
insensitive" flasher, which will continue to flash even with a bulb burned
out.
