Features to know about

Brighter Rear Visibility: Dual-Bulb Design That Doubles the Light Output

This Double Bullseye red clearance and side marker light uses two bulbs to produce noticeably stronger illumination than a single-bulb setup. The 4-1/16" long by 2-1/8" wide rectangular housing gives a wide, even glow that makes your trailer stand out at night or in low light. The dual-bulb layout also provides some built-in redundancy—if one bulb goes, the other still keeps you visible.

Built to Last Through the Elements: All-Weather Molded Plastic Housing

The black plastic base and durable lens are molded for all-weather protection against corrosion, so it holds up through road spray, dust, and temperature changes. Nothing fancy—just solid construction that keeps the internals protected so you can focus on towing instead of replacing cracked lenses or corroded sockets.

Simple, Reliable Wiring: Single-Wire Grounding Through the Mount

No need to deal with multiple connections. This light uses a single lead wire for power and relies on the mounting hardware for grounding. Just make sure the mounting surface provides a clean ground contact and you’re good to go. It’s a straightforward setup that cuts down on wiring clutter.

Fast Replacement Fit: Surface Mounts on Standard 3" Centers

Designed around standard 3" mounting centers, this light bolts right into common brackets or existing holes. The snap-on lens makes bulb swaps quick, and both lens and bulbs are replaceable when needed. That means less downtime and no hassle when it’s time for maintenance.

Compact and Clean Look: Low-Profile Bullseye Shape

At only 1-1/8" deep, this surface-mount light sits close to the body for a tidy finish while still giving off strong red illumination. The bullseye lens design adds a classic look that fits cleanly with most trailer lighting setups without sticking out or snagging gear.

Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Double Bullseye Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light, Two-Bulb

Today we are going to show you Optronics Double Bulls Eye Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light, part number MC42RB. Inside the light are two light bulbs for increased light output. It's a single wire design meaning we'll have a single power wire lead, and the light will ground electrically through the hardware used to mount it on the trailer. Both the bulbs and the lens are user replaceable. It's designed to surface mount on your trailer using the mounting holes that are three inches on center.

Next we are going to hook the light up to a power supply so you can see what it looks like when lit up. We'll connect our ground to the mounting hardware, and our power to the wire. Next we'll turn off the overhead lights so you can see what it looks like in the dark. And that's it for Optronics Double Bulls Eye Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light, part number MC42RB.

Great replacement light. These light are very similar to what was on the vehicle. The vehicle is a restored " Mobile Man Cave" / race support vehicle (1979 E-350 box van). I also needed a little assistance from Customer support and Cathy was very helpful. Fantastic experience all the way around. Thanks.

But, boy they
are very cheaply made compared to the 12 year old Peterson lights 138R lights that I had removed.

Also their videos are very informative if your not sure what your doing they do a very good job walking you through it. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Thank you for the concern, Everything I purchased from you are working as they should. VERY HAPPY with all.

Trailer Clearance Lights #MC42RB, easily installed, nice lights. There could be a little more space (maybe 1/8" in depth) on the backside so the wire could be positioned through an existing hole in the trailer and the light assy would sit completely flat against the trailer. Seems to be good value for the money and they are cheap.

  • What Red Incandescent Side Clearance Light do You Have to Match My TMC 2294?
    Hello C.J., Looks like you already ordered the matching one! The Peterson Double Bullseye Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light - 2 Bulbs - Red Lens # 425800 will be the best match if you have a white housing. If your housing is black, you will want the Double Bullseye Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light - Two Bulb - Red # MC42RB. So what happened to the missing one? Or is that a mystery in itself?

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lighting Where Only One Running Light Works
    Since all of your trailer lights operate properly with the exception of one of the running lights, this tells us that the vehicle wiring harness is probably working properly. I would first carefully check the bad light's ground and power wires to ensure that both are secured. If the light uses a separate ground wire, usually a white wire like on # MCL36AB, that ground wire needs to be affixed to the trailer frame, to a clean rust-free bare metal surface. If the light is the type that uses...

  • How to Wire Single Wire Trailer Light In Place of Two Wire Trailer Light
    Lights that only have 1 wire, like the Double Bullseye Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MC42RB you purchased, get power through the wire and are grounded through the mounting hardware, whereas lights with 2 wires have 1 wire for power and 1 wire for ground. Just connect that single wire to the power and make sure the mounting hardware is touching a spot that can be grounded and you'll be good to go!

  • Recommended Interior Lights for Utility Van
    I do have a solution for you for interior lights for your utility van but the Optronics # MC42RB Double Bullseye Trailer Clearance Light does not have a clear lens available. What I do suggest is their Rectangular Porch and Utility Light with Switch # RVPL3C or the version without the switch, part # RVPL1C. Both offer a surface-mount housing like the MC42RB. If you prefer high-efficiency LED lights for reduced power consumption and heat then you might consider the Optronics Opti-Brite...

  • Which Optronic Replacement Marker Lights will fit in the Optronics Chrome Trailer Light Bracket
    Double Bull's-eye LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL45AB and # MCL45RB will fit with Chrome Trailer Light Bracket # BK42CB. These two lights will be a little tighter fit. Double Bull's-eye Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MC42RB and # MC42AB will also work with # BK42CB. I have linked a video for you as well.
