You either have a short in the trailer wiring or one of the indicator bulbs in the trailer is of incorrect wattage.

Aaaahhhh... now that the missing words are in there... ROFL

If the Light Assy is easy to remove, test the LED across a battery.
If it is still dim it is the Driver Circuit in the LED and you need a new lamp assy.

If the LED is bright you have a wiring issue.

If it is wiring and it is a stand alone blinker check how the Light Assy gets to earth.
If it is a combo and the brake and/or clearance LEDS are bright then your earth is OK and it must be power.

Check the pin and connection in the trailer plug and if that is OK follow the cables looking for damage
