Is there any way check continuity on a led light to see if it’s burned out ? Rewired it all and don’t have a right blinker or brake lights . I’m pretty sure everything is wired correctly.

Trailer light ?
Do you have a test light or voltmeter? If not, you need to get one if you’re going to be dealing with trailer lights. Then you need to check and see if you have power to the light in question. If you have power, the light’s probably bad. If not, you have some other issue. Check to make sure everything is grounded good, and then you can use your test light or volt meter to see if you have power at your plug on your pickup. Working on trailer lights is pretty much a process of elimination.

Grounding issues, (95%) of the time. Most lights will have a white lead that will need to be grounded at the mounting point on the trailer. These points of contact to the trailer will get rusty over time and need cleaning. Fuses (3%) will blow while trying to connect up the trailer while your truck light are on. Turn your lights off during this procedure. (2%) of the time I have had to replace the entire light. We have been blessed with LED tech. The old incandescent bulbs were a constant battle 10 fold.

That sums it up pretty good.
