Features to know about

Simple Light Replacement: Direct Fit for Common OEM Models

When you’re dealing with older lights that have cracked lenses or burned-out bulbs, this Optronics clearance or side marker light makes the swap easy. Measuring 3-1/2" long by 1-1/8" wide and 1" thick, it mounts with 2-3/4" hole spacing and fits right in place of common models from Truck Lite (#26338Y), Grote (#45253), and Peterson (#M136A). The design is straightforward—no rewiring or tricky adapters—so it’s a clean replacement for many factory lights.

Built for Everyday Use: Durable ABS Housing with Snap-On Lens

Frequent towing or outdoor use can wear out fragile lights fast, but this one holds up. The housing is made of tough ABS plastic that resists cracking, and the amber lens snaps securely into place. If the lens ever needs to be replaced, it simply pops off for quick bulb access. The included gasket helps create a weathertight seal between the housing and your trailer surface, keeping the inside protected from dust and road spray.

Reliable Power Connection: Single-Wire Grounding Through Mounting Hardware

No need to run extra wires or figure out complex connections. This light uses a simple 1-wire hookup for power and grounds through its mounting hardware. That means fewer steps, less clutter, and fewer points of failure. It’s compatible with standard 12V DC systems and only draws 0.2 amps at 12.8V, making it efficient while still providing bright, visible illumination.

Clear Visibility Where You Need It: P2-Rated Beam Pattern

For safety on the road, this light delivers a defined beam pattern that covers 45 degrees to each side of centerline—90 degrees total. That makes it ideal for use as either a clearance light or a side marker light, depending on how you mount it. The amber color stands out well in low light conditions and helps mark your trailer’s edges for better visibility at night or in poor weather.

Quick Surface Mount Setup: Simple Installation on Any Flat Panel

Mounting this light couldn’t be easier. It’s designed for surface mounting using self-tapping screws (hardware not included) and sits low against the panel for a clean look. Once installed, you’ll have a dependable clearance or side marker light that’s compact, low-maintenance, and built to keep shining trip after trip.

by:

Decent construction. Bright marker light. Easy installation



by:

Everything I have ever purchased from e trailer has been excellent. I have called ahead to see if the had a part in stock so i could pick it up and everyone I have talked too was great to deal with I would recommend them



by:

It is difficult to get enthusiastic about hazard (marker) reflectors, but it is easy to appreciate a company that provides an accurate description, a fair price, quick delivery and a quality product.



by:

I bought these to replace the old ones on my motorhome. Other brands I found did not come with the gasket, but these do. The quick shipping from etrailer was much appreciated. Thanks etrailer!!



by:

Haven't had the opportunity to use all the parts ordered(doing 2 trailers at one time)but so far I am very pleased not only with the quality of the parts but also the timely fashion in which I received them. Thank you and I will be ordering again.



by:

Excellent product. I looked all over the Internet for an RV clearance light like the one on my motor home. This was an exact match and was here in a few days. Thanks etrailer for the quick service and the follow-up emails!



by:

I ordered this as a replacement for a broken light on my flatbed trailer. This is an exact duplicate, so I didn't have to replace all the lights to make them match. This is a high quality light, with no technical issues. I am grateful to etrailer.com for carrying them at a great price.



by:

Grommet through which grounding screw passes has a small inside diameter. Had to remove the grommet in order to use mounting screws from previous light.

This may be an issue if you are buying this light as a replacement.

Otherwise, product appears to be of good quality considering the price.



by:

Was looking for replacement lights for pleasureway motorhome. I looked hi and lo over the internet and finally found them at etrailer. Placing the order was easy and user friendly. To my surprise the order was shipped the next day, in my hands within three days and installed within four days. I can't thank etrailer enough for their effort in fulfilling my order and making my repair job as painless as possible. Thanks again!



by:

My 20 year old market light bases disintegrated on my Winnebago Rialta so I replaced them all with these side marker lights. The size was very close and I did have to make some relatively easy modifications to get them to work, but a year later they have been working great and there has been no moisture intrusion. I used white butyl tape for the seal instead of the rubber gaskets.



by:

Hi,
I received, my items. on time and
in great working order. I will buy from e trailer again when I need trailer items. they are a great company. I also had the chance to speak with customer they were very professional on the phone with me as well.

Thanks E trailer

Hi,every thing is as good as the day I purchase it product is great still a happy customer.thanks E trailer



by:

This was to replace side marker lights on my Pleasureway van .Worked as expected but hole spacing was slightly off so minor modifications required. Material shipped promptly.
On a side issue you have got to do something about your price on Furrion stove top replacement rubber grommets. Not worth the $[XX] each. Seen other comments for same issue.



by:

That are perfect size and fit. Thanks for the quick ship and delivery.



by:

Quick delivery, exact product I needed. No hassles, great to deal with...thanks

Items still functioning as advertised. No water intrusion and nice bright lights!



by:

Excellent product, worked perfectly. I would buy again.



by:

Looked around a while for a replacement lens, without success, and was pleasantly surprised to find the exact one on eTrailer. Received the entire light fixture, a bonus, and at a very fair price, including the shipping charge . I'll look first at eTrailer.com in the future. Shipping was very fast and the tracking mapping app was very cool. As soon as the Polar Vortex ice and snow melts off the coach, and spring arrives, I'm sure it will pop right on.

  • Replacement Trailer Clearance Lights for GloBrite 122r/122y
    The globrite 122 in red or yellow/amber are 3.75 inches by 1.70 inches from what I can find online. We do not have a direct replacement, however the closest dimension we have to replace them is 3-1/2 by 1 inch. I recommend the # MC68RB and # MC68AB. If you want to go larger, then I recommend the 4x 1-1/2 inch LED # MCL17RB and # MCL17AB.

    The Optronics Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MC68AB and # MC68AB are the same size as the Grote 9015 lights. Unfortunately they are not available from the manufacturer with a LED light. You can change the incandescent bulb to an LED Bulb # DI88VR. This will give you the lower power draw as well as the extended life that you get from LED's. The Glow Brite LED replacements are going to be the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light w/ Reflex Reflector # MCL44AB and...

  • Replacement Marker Light For Front Of 2004 Winnebago Rialta Motorhome
    For your 2004 Winnebago Rialta motorhome I recommend going with the LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector # MCL0030ABB. This light is only 3/8" thick and uses an LED so there is no need to change the bulbs when they go out. It also has a 2 wire pigtail so that you will not have to modify the light to work on your Rialta. The Optronics Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MC68AB that you inquired about will include a incandescent light bulb. It can be mounted on your...

  • Replacement Amber Lens for a Grote 9015 Directional Light on a 1999 Monaco Signature Motor Home
    After I did some research, it looks like Grote 9015 corresponds to # MC68AB and the replacement lens for it is # A68AB that you have referenced. The light itself including the housing measures 3-1/2 inches side to side, 1-1/8 inches top to bottom and sticks out 1 inch. Compare these measurements to the lights you have to determine if this is the correct fit.

Although lens # APL5AB is the correct style, it is not the correct size at 5-1/2 inches by 2-3/4 inches.

If you can find a manufacturer name and part number on the base of your existing light this will help you match up the replacement.

    Hey Elaine. It looks like the DZ 77-825 lights measure 3-1/2" long x 1 3/8" wide. There's not much information about them online and there's no modern recommended replacement for them. The closest lights I have to those dimensions are the Optronics Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light item # MC68AB in amber and item # MC68RB with a red lens.

This light measures 3-1/2" long, 1-2/8" wide, 1" thick, and is made from a durable ABS plastic.

  • Troubleshooting Replacement Glow-Brite 122R/122Y Bulbs
    We don't carry that manufacturer and some online research indicates they may no longer be in business which if that is the case would be why. With no markings and no way to physically test the bulb for fit, all I can offer is a replacement. Have you pulled the bulb out and looked around the base for markings? The closest dimension we have to replace them is 3-1/2 by 1 inch so I strongly recommend the # MC68RB and # MC68AB as replacement options that will work well.

  • Recommended Mounting Hardware For Trailer Lights
    I recommend using self tapping screws to install the Oblong Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light, 1 Wire - Amber # MC68AB, the Right Fender Clearance Trailer Light, Prewired - Amber and Red # BA44FNR or # BA44FNL, and the Trailer License Plate Light with Housing and Mounting Bracket - Clear Lens - Black Base # LP81BB. For these installations you can use Self-Tapping Screw - 1/4" -14 x 3/4" Long - Zinc # FA1131822, which is corrosion resistant and has a hex-washer-head less likely to strip.

  • Can the Lens on Optronics MC68 Series Trailer Marker Lights be Removed
    The lenses on the Optronics marker lights # MC68AB snap onto the base. Getting the lens off can be a little tricky. You can try a very small flat head screwdriver to gently pry it up but be careful not to slip and scratch the lens.

  • How Does the Oblong Trailer Clearance Light from Optronics Ground
    The Oblong Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Light # MC68AB grounds through the mounting hardware. You only need to run a power wire to the unit.
