Well, actually they shouldn't - if other bulbs dim when a turn signal is activated, that usually indicates a short or other fault in the circuit, or a problem with the bulbs themselves.
check for power at the trailer connector.
Very top is ABS, next two down are marker lights, next two down from that are flashers/turn signals, bottom is brake lights, center is ground.
Yes. You need a converter to combine the turn signals with the brake lights.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer light plug, the wires for the brake lights and the turn signals have been connected together, which is common, as many trailers do not have separate lights for brakes and turn signals.

Trailer lights typically use a standard wiring color code. The most common colors are: brown for tail lights and running lights, yellow for left turn signals, green for right turn signals, and white for the ground. Additionally, some trailers may include a blue wire for electric brakes and a red wire for auxiliary power. Always check the specific wiring diagram for your trailer, as variations can occur.

The lights on a trailer are typically required to be installed before the trailer is used on public roads. This includes brake lights, turn signals, and tail lights, which are essential for signaling to other drivers. Ensure all lights are functional and meet local regulations to promote safety and compliance. Always check that the connections are secure before each trip.
I would first check the grounding between the truck and the trailer. If the ground is good then bulbs would be the next thing to check.
Hitch the trailer. Connect the lights. Start your car or truck. Turn the turn signal on. Get out and go behind the trailer. See if they blink. Repeat for the other side.
