Default Trailer harness question.

I recently purchased a used 21013 Electra Glide Ultra limited. The previous owner has installed a stage two audio system with an amp located under the tour box. Also, he added led's in all lights fore and aft. I want to wire for a trailer, however, the plug from the rear lights is plugged into a split harness that runs fore and aft. Does anyone have any experience with such a scenario? Would adding trailer lights overload the battery.
Thanks for any help.

Overload the battery? NO!

But do know you can not go by color coated wiring to hook into bike.

Also depends if trailer wiring is 4 prong or 5-6 prong setup.

Does the trailer have separate turn signals or are they part of the tail lights?

Thanks for the come-back. My trailer is a five wire. I had it hooked up to my previous bike but it did not have all the LED lights and double amp sound system that this bike has. That is why I was concerned about the added electrical load from the trailer.

The leds draw so low amperage it is not even a concern.
