Optronics Trailer Lights A65PB Review
Optronics Sealed Thin Line Two-Bulb Trailer Clearance Light Installation
Video Transcript for Optronics Trailer Lights A65PB Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at part number A65PB. This is the Optronics Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug for the Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights. Again, it's going to be black in color. It's an all-weather, molded, ABS plastic bracket and wiring plug. It is going to offer a surface mount design for MC65 series lights. You'll see that we have the two mount holes right here. If we take a measurement of those and the separation we have, measuring center on center, is going to be 3", which is industry standard.
The mounting hole diameter is going to measure about 3/16". The overall dimensions of the bracket, starting with the overall length, that's going to give us about 4 1/16" in length. Measuring the width, that's going to give us a measurement of 1 1/16" and then the depth is going to give us a measurement of about 1/2". You can see here that it does offer the single wire design. That's going to be for our power. That's going to be a 6" wire lead.
Then this portion right here is going to be our ground connection. This is designed to ground through the mounting hardware. Mounting hardware is sold separately. This part's also available in chrome with part number A67CB and in gray with part number A66PB. Today I'm going to be installing part number MCL65CRB. This is a Thin Line Optronics light.
It's got the two male ports here on the back. Plug directly into the female ports on the bracket. All you have to do is line those holes up and then the light simply just snaps in. It's got clips around the side that secure to the light. It's going to hold it firmly and securely in place. That's going to do it for our review of part number A65PB.
This is the Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights from Optronics. .

Quality product! The LEDs light up brightly. They're brighter than i expected! I bought enough to change out all my trailer lights, it worked out well. So far they've been through some extreme weather. I've used the trailer in heavy rain, high heat, through winter and freezing temps, and many washes. They haven't leaked and lenses still look great. It's only been a year and I'm hoping these will last many many more. 638100

These bases were a god-send as my wife had "removed" a few by driving a wee bit too close to some overhanging trees. They will be fairly easy to install and with the new lights we should be back in business. Thank you for the usual quick service. 104817

These new lights [LED] continue to work flawlessly and the brighter light is quite noticeable. They were easy to install and have not been removed yet by my wifes driving.

I reviewed this order earlier indicating that the light I received was not the same as the one I ordered from. However, after several emails back & forth with Mr. Breedlove at Etrailer, he was able to provide an explanation for the difference. The manufacturer upgraded the light to a LED which required a different lens than I had on the trailer. I have to admit the LED light is much brighter than the incandescent one on the trailer. I'm impressed with the dedication & perseverance demonstrated to me to help resolve the problem. For that they earned my trust and my business. 71671

This product is all that it says it is. I have been working on a 2002 Trails West, Sierra gooseneck trailer doing minor upkeep repairs since I purchased it last October. I thought I needed just the clearance lights when I ordered those first. Then I found out I needed new brackets, as a few still didn't work. I watched your install video a few times to do this job myself. It was not as easy for ME as he made it look, AND you have to make sure you have the right LENGTH rivet or it will not attach to the trailer wall! I found this out and destroyed one of the brackets, but I got by with some good glue on one bracket that was just cracked at the clip, but still worked. Also, it's tricky getting the butt connector pressed tight into the narrow slot. I also borrowed my neighbors rivet gun and watched how-to videos on this tool too, and one on how to remove a rivet stuck in the gun and how to put it all back together again, and after I had lost a very tiny part for a day. I was ready to say HELP to my neighbor yesterday. And, it was difficult finding the right size rivet, after going to 4 different stores. It's all been a new learning experience for me, and I just have to say, I GOT IT DONE!!!!!! 497203

These were exact replacements for the lights I was trying to replace that got torn off in a blowout. However, I am quite disappointed in the quality. It does not hold both sides of the lights in securely. I worked and worked with it, and thought I had it secured, so I took it for a spin and as the trailer left the driveway the new LED light I had also purchased popped out and was crushed. Maybe this was a faulty batch, but I ordered several of these and so far they are all having some sort of issue. 494335

The product was what I was looking for, but it took me some time to locate it on the website. I had to measure and double check a few times to make sure it was the same as the parts I was replacing. Also, there are two kinds of bases. One attaches to metal panels and grounds through the trailer body. But for the lights on the round fiberglass nose, the base plate with a ground wire is required. I learned this after I made my first purchase and had to buy 5 more bases. Lastly, you don't want to over tighten the bases to the trailer body. At best they will twist and make it difficult to snap the bulb in, at worst you will crack the base, ask me how I learned that.. The difference in the grounding designs cold have been better explained in the description. 458939

- LED Replacements for Trailer Clearance Light Part 154A-R and PM-102
- The closest LED replacement we have for the Trailer Clearance Light part 154A-R is the Thin Line LED Fender Clearance Light part # MCL65ARB. This light has both a red/amber lens, 10 diodes, and measures 3-15/16" long x 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall. For a direct fit bracket/harness you will need to use the Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug part # A65PB.

view full answer... - Installing Optronics LED Trailer Marker # MCL63AB on Trailer
- In order to install the Optronics Sealed Micro-Flex Thin Line LED Trailer Marker # MCL63AB on your trailer, you will need to add a bracket and wire harness, such as the Black Bracket with Single Wire # A65PB or the Gray Bracket and Single Wire Plug # A66PB. The choice between the two brackets is simply based on color preference, as they will wire and install the same way.
The bracket will ground through its hardware, so it just needs a single wire to power the light. You will want to...
view full answer... - Fender Clearance Light Replacement for 2010 Cimarron Horse Trailer Norstar VP 3H GN
- Yes, the light part # MCL65ARB is the correct replacement for what you sent in a picture of on your horse trailer.
The mounting bracket in the picture is the same as the part # A65PB so it's a match.
view full answer... - Can I Use Optronics LED Light # MCL75RB in the Same Base as Light # MC65RB
- Yes, both the Optronics lights # MC65RB and MCL75RB use the same mounting base, so the # MCL75RB lights will snap into your old bases. You will then need to wire in the lights, with a power and ground connection.
Part # MCL75RB is a sealed LED light light and will burn brighter but draw less power than part # MC65RB. Both lights use either base # A65PB or # A67CB.
See the video that I shot showing both lights.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Clearance Light for a Kll 1A-V-1260AB
- I looked up the trailer light you listed and the exact replacement that we carry would be the part # MC65ARB. This light uses the part # A65PB as a mount so the part # MCL61ARB should work as a replacement for you as well.

- The Sealed, Thin Line LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light, 4 Diode - Red # MCL75RB will mount to your 2000 Sundowner as long as the base it connects to is 4-1/16" L x 1-1/16" W x 1/2" D. If you need to replace that bracket, I recommend the Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights # A65PB or chrome # A67CB.
We don't have a spec sheet of each trailer, but you can definitely make these work and the dimensions should help you...
view full answer... - Recommended Clearance Lights for Pace America Trailer
- I recommend going with the Thin Line LED Trailer Light, # MCL65AB for amber lights and # MCL65RB for red lights. These sealed, dual-bulb lights can be used as a clearance or side marker lights. I have included a link to a video review and installation video of these lights for you.
To mount the light, you will also need a bracket like # A65PB for black or # A67CB for chrome.

- There are five mounting brackets available that fit the Optronics Trailer Clearance Side Marker Light # MC65AB.
These three are all black plastic. They are Optronics # A65PBPG, # A65PB and # A65B. The first two come with a single wire, the differentiating factor is the # A65PBPG comes with a plug-n-go male connector whereas the # A65PB is intended to be hardwired. The third one, # A65B is the bracket without the wires.
If you would rather have a chrome colored plastic bracket, Optronics...
view full answer... - Replacing Optronics Thin Line Incandescent Trailer Light with Thin Line LED Trailer Light
- You are exactly right. Changing out your # MC65RB incandescent lights for new # MCL75RB lights will simply require removing the existing light and snapping a new light into the same housing.
Both of these lights use the # A65PB bracket. If any of the brackets on your trailer need replaced you can use the # A65PB as a replacement, but the LED lights will not require any different base than the incandescent lights.
I have attached an installation video of the # MCL75RB light for you.

- The closest thing we offer to Bargman 99 Incandescent Clearance Light # 3499001 that you referenced that is an LED would be the Optronics Trailer Lights # MCL63RB.
Dimensionally these lights are virtually identical. I attached a review video for this light.
For an install bracket you would want the part # A65PB.
view full answer... - Comparing Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug A65PB and Plug n Go Bracket A65PBPG
- For the Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug, # A65PB, the plug on the end of the one wire is different than that on # A65PBPG. The plug n go style on # A65PBPG is easier to attach to the MC65 series of lights, like # MC65RB, because the cable is molded around the connector. This also covers any exposed wires that would normally be present like on # A65PB.

- You can certainly replace your existing incandescent marker/clearance lamps with LED models. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent lamps. They have a much longer life, they draw a fraction of the amperage and are brighter.
The Optronics LED Clearance and Side Marker Light you mentioned, part # MCL75AB uses a chrome # A67CB or black # A65PB mounting bracket. The lamp is fully waterproof.

- Although I don't have any reference information that would tell me the part or crossover number for a lamp on your Haulmark trailer, I found online that the # MC65ARB you referenced would be an identical replacement. To be sure, take a quick measurement of the existing lamp on the other side. If it measures 3-15/16 inches long by 1-1/4 inches wide by 7/8 of an inch tall when laid on the base, you're good to go. You might consider getting the # A65PB, # A67CB or the # A67BB base, they're...
view full answer... - How Does the Optronics Light # MCL75RB Install on a Two Wire Lighting System
- When installing the Optronics Sealed, Thin Line LED Light, # MCL75RB, you will use the # A65PB Bracket for Single Wire Thin Line Light.
The bracket has a black wire that the power wire on your trailer will connect. The light will ground to the trailer through the light bracket. If you are mounting to a steel frame then you will not need to install the trailers ground wire.

- The lights that you have referenced, # STL70RB, do have the same measurements as the Kaper lights you have with the exception that they do not stick out as far from the trailer.
As for the clearance lights I do not have one that is an exact match for the dimensions you have given. A close match is # MCL65AB. It measures 3-15/16 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide. To mount it you would need a bracket like # A65PB or # A67CB.
view full answer... - Recommended LED Clearance Light that is Red and Amber
- The Optronics LED clearance light that is similar to # MC65RB, but will be amber and red, is the Optronics LED clearance light # MCL65ARB. This light is sealed, waterproof and is a surface mount. The dimensions are 3-15/16 inch length by 1-1/4 inch width by 7/8 inch deep.
You will need a bracket and plug like # A65PB to complete the installation of the Optronics LED trailer light # MCL65ARB.
Another option you may like is the LED clearance/marker light with a bracket and wire # MCL67ARB....
view full answer... - Mounting Base and Wiring Harness for Optronics Clearance Light # MCL63CAB
- There are different bases you can use for clearance light # MCL63CAB. You can use base # A65B that you have referenced. For that particular base you would use wiring harness # A68P.
We also have base # A65PB or # A66PB. With these you would use wiring harness # A65P with the single wire because the light will ground through the mounting studs of these bases.

- The Thinline Sealed LED Utility Light, # UCL65CB, is a sonically sealed waterproof lens and housing so it can be submerged. To mount this light you will also need bracket. You can use Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights, # A65PB. Or, you can use Chrome Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights, # A67CB.

- I have a solution for you but we do not have an exact replacement for the PM154 that you referenced. I saw that you purchased # MC65RB and the proper base bracket for these lights is # A65PB if you would like black or # A67CB if you wanted a chrome base.
view full answer... - What Fastener to Use for Installing Optronics Thin Line Series Light Mounting Bracket # A65PB
- It is not necessary to use rivets for installation of the Optronics Thin Line Series Light Mounting Bracket # A65PB, or the chrome version # A67CB. You can use stainless steel sheet metal screws like # 1172904 or pretty much any hardware that suits your installation location. Both brackets use mounting holes on 3-inch centers and the holes are 1/4-inch in diameter.
view full answer... - Is a Base Required for Mounting the # MCL63AB and # MCL75AB Trailer Side Marker Lights
- Yes, a mounting base is necessary for the # MCL63AB, you will need to use either the Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug, item # A65PB, or the Chrome Bracket and Single Wire Plug, item # A67CB with this light.
The # MCL75AB, Thin Line Trailer lights also require a mounting base. Brackets for the # MCL75AB include the # A65PB and the # A67CB bases, mentioned for the # MCL63AB light.
view full answer... - What Brackets Are Used To Mount The Sealed, Thin Line LED Trailer Clearance Light Part # MCL75RB
- The correct mounting bracket for the Sealed, Thin Line LED Trailer Clearance part # MCL75RB is the Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Series Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights part # A65PB for black and part # A67CB for chrome.
view full answer... - Mounting Brackets for Sealed, Thin Line LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light MCL65AB
- There are a few options for brackets for trailer light # MCL65AB. None are beige or tan but we do have black, # A65PB. Chrome, # A67CB. You will need to remove the old brackets and use steel hardware to install these new brackets. The light will ground through the mounting hardware so they have to be screwed into steel.
view full answer... - Availability of Optronics Clearance/Marker Light Kit # MC67ARBP for Horse Trailer
- We do offer the lamp in question, part # MC65ARB. Optronics sells the item as a set including the bracket and wire pigtail as part MCL67ARBP, but we sell the items separately. The bracket/pigtail combo is available as part # A65PB.
view full answer... - Red Trailer Clearance Light that is Submersible and LED
- We have the part # MCL165RB which is a submersible red LED trailer clearance light like you said you are looking for. For a mounting bracket with wiring we have the part # A65PB as well to go with it.
I attached an install video for this light for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Diameter Fasteners to Use to Install Clearance Light MCL75RB
- The mounting hole diameters of the install bracket # A65PB for the Thinline light part # MCL75RB are 3/16 inch in diameter. 1/8 inch diameter screws or rivets would work well. Aluminum isn't going to be as strong as steel but if the light assembly is pretty lightweight so it would still be held on securely with a aluminum screws or rivets.
