Question:

Need to replace several of my trailers marker lights. At this time they are all incandescent type, bought a few locally at Wal-Mart. but all they got is 2inch Dia. round I need: 2- 2.5 in. round amber lens 2- 2.5 in. round red lens 2- rectangular, surface mount, amber lens all with the double plug-in type sockets on the back My problem is I dont see the same rectangular type anywhere on your extensive website. Want and need to replace them all with LED. Also: My stop and turn lights are still good but they are incandescent. Can they be still used with the rest being LEDs? Need some info here please. Thanks.

From all the photos I saw online, it looks like Floe used grommet mounted 2-1/2 inch marker lights and standard 6-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch oblong taillights.

If that's the case, for the amber 2-1/2 inch I would recommend # MCL59AB and # MCL59RB for the red marker light. The lamps use a standard # A55GB grommet to mount. The grommet is a fit for a 3 inch diameter rough opening. The lamps are designed to be used with a 2 pin pigtail like part # A49PB.

I wasn't able to find a photo showing the rectangular lamps you speak of. If you could reply with a photo and some dimensions of the lamps, as well as the center to center hole spacing of the mounting holes, I'd be happy to help find replacements that will work for you.

My contacts at Optronics, Peterson Manufacturing and Wesbar have told me in the past that it's acceptable to mix LED and incandescent lamps, but if budget allows it's a good idea to go ahead and upgrade all of the lamps to LED because they draw only a fraction of the power of incandescent, they last quite a bit longer and they're more resistant to shock.

Assuming that your taillights are the typical grommet mount 6-1/2 x 2 inch lamps, If you decide to replace them I'd recommend using part # STL22RB along with the # A70GB grommet meant to fit into a 6-11/16 by 2-5/8 inch rough opening and the # A45PB 3 socket pigtail.
