If the trailer is not long enough to allow the toolbox to be mounted across the front, i have seen them mounted long way with the trailer right in the center, then you drive over top of them... works great unless you need into the box while you have the trailer loaded. then it is a real pain in the you know where...
if you need new lights for it, check out www.superbrightleds.com - - they have LED "truck lights" that fit most of the hole cutouts on trailers (if you have such things) nice thing about them, they dont burn out all the time and can take shock of being pulled along offroad.

The box is farkin huge. I'm thinking I may see if someone wants to trade me for a smaller box, or just sell this one again. It is just too big to go anywhere.
Notice that the box is almost as long as my bed! It is 72" long, 28" deep, and 18" high. It'll store A LOT of stuff, but it is just too big for my "little" trailer
I'll probably convert to LEDs eventually, but my first concern is the axles/brakes/suspension right now. It is a lot rougher than I though, and after reading a horror story on pirate4x4 about an axle failing, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and get some new stuff. Probably just get some new axles w/ brakes. It'll cost me, but I don't need to cheap out on a couple hundred bucks and wreck my Jeep AND my $35K+ truck

I found another one locally for pretty cheap that came out of a Mazda B3000, but it is still a bit too wide to fit between the tires of my Jeep if I would need to pull up really far, or tow another vehicle. I need to think about it. It is only $45, but I can't keep accumilating tool boxes either 
If I could find one that was 48" wide, 20" deep, and about 15" tall it would be perfect!
