Features to know about

Tough Roads and Heavy Use: Steel Armored Protection

When your trailer takes a beating from road debris or weather, fragile lights can’t keep up. This armored clearance and side marker light uses a heavy-duty steel housing that shields the lens and bulb from impact and corrosion. It’s built for rugged use and holds up well over time, even when exposed to dirt, rocks, or moisture during long hauls.

Keeping Moisture Out: Sealed Gasket Design

Water inside a light can ruin bulbs fast. This light uses a durable gasket that creates a weathertight seal between the housing and the trailer surface. Combined with its snap-on acrylic lens, the seal helps keep out rain, dust, and road spray—so your light keeps shining bright instead of fogging up or corroding.

Bright Coverage from Every Angle: PC-Rated Illumination

Visibility matters most when you’re towing at night or in low light. The PC rating on this 4-1/2" by 2" rectangular light means it shines out at a full 180-degree beam spread—90 degrees to either side of centerline. That wide coverage helps others see your trailer from both the front and sides, keeping you safer on the road.

Simple Replacement Fit: Standard Mounting Pattern

Replacing an old or broken light shouldn’t mean drilling new holes. With mounting holes spaced 3-7/8" apart horizontally and 13/16" vertically (center-to-center), this light lines up with standard patterns used on many trailers. The single-wire design grounds through its mounting hardware, making wiring fast and clean—no extra ground wire needed.

Reliable Incandescent Output: Serviceable 194 Bulb

This light runs on a common 194 wedge base bulb that draws 2.7 amps at 14 volts. When it eventually burns out, simply pop off the lens and replace it—no need to swap the entire fixture. It’s compatible with 12V DC systems and designed as an easy, long-term solution for dependable marker and clearance lighting.

  • A PC-rated light produces a 90-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 180 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be clearly seen when you are standing directly in front of the light, as well as when you are standing on either side of the light. When properly installed, this type of light can function as both a front clearance light and a side marker light or as a rear clearance light and side marker light.

Still great. I think they will outlast my truck.



by:

Good strong commercial light. Will be great on my car trailer



by:

Bought these lights to replace my very old lights on a 79 international, quality was very good and the armor should be heavy enough to protect lenses. Would recommend to a friend



by:

Easy to install, robust to avoid breakage. Worked well for rear of trailer where it can get knocked about. Happy with purchase.



by:

Solid product, much better than the original light on the truck. Priced right.



by:

Exactly what we wanted. Won't have to worry about the breakage that comes with plastic markers that get crushed, stepped on or rubbed by tie downs on our newly built utility trailer. Thanks!



by:

Showed up on time. It is exactly like I wanted.?works well. Only thing they could do is get people in shipping to package them properly for shipyard. By the scratches and in the box loosely, I can see the error. If I was goningbto put them on a show vehicle I would send them back. It’s an old work truck



by:

These clearance lights are just what I have been looking for. Hard to find locally
Will for sure look to you guys for any future stuff I need for my trailers
Got the lights right away, Great service
Thanks

All my trailer lights were delivered on time and seem to be of good quality, I would recommend buying here. I am a repeat costumer and will be back! Thank you etrailer!



by:

These seven lamps are replacing the same amount of near identical older lamps of late 70's era on a former fire department rescue truck from CA that I'm restoring. An ideal situation is that the mounting and wiring holes match up exactly to the same on the truck, thus I'm not having to drill a single new hole in order to mount the new replacement lamps. Additionally, the lenses in the new lamps are so much easier to remove than the lenses on the older one's (for bulb changes). I'm totally happy with these new lamps, as I am also with E-Trailer where I've made purchases of great products in the past.



by:

I have these lights on the back of my small trailer. The metal sheilding is much stronger than other "armored" lights that are really just a plastic frame around the red lens.



by:

Great lights!!! I received them yesterday. I am completely satisfied with your lights.
I bought one yellow and one red. Very tough, strong and fully sized.
A perfect match for my existing Grumman Olson marker lights.

The original manufacturer does not have them; and the lights sold locally are about 20 percent smaller and cheaply made.
Additionally, you have wait 8 weeks to get them.

Thank you. Keep up the good work and keep selling good products.

Now I hope I can find replacement rear lights.



by:

I like the old style better but can’t find them anywhere.

  • Replacement Peterson Clearance Light For Pleasant Valley Trailer
    Hi Chari! The biggest difference between the old Peterson PM 122 and the PM 124 clearance lights is the PM 122 is a bit larger and has two wires (ground and power). While the PM 124 ground through the mounting hardware and has a power wire. I am not sure exactly what you mean by splice a new wire. If you give me a little more detail about what you are trying to do there I can help. The PM 122 and PM 124 are no longer made, we do carry the replacement amber lens but not red. I recommend...

  • Could Sealed, Steel Armored Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MC82RB Replace PM-122
    As long as the distance between the mounting holes of your current clearance light is 3-7/8 inches the MC82RB will fit and work as an easy replacement. We don't carry the light you have so we don't have that measurement but trailer lights are mostly made to the same standard and we have found that if the lights match visually the mounting is almost exact.

  • What is the Amperage Rating for the Armored Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light with 194 Bulb
    The Armored Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light, # MC82RB, utilizes a 194 bulb like the Replacement Side Marker Light Bulb, # A194B. This particular bulb draws 2.7 amps at 14 volts input. If you need lights that draw less amperage you can use LED lights. The LED equivalent to the # MC82RB light is the Steel Armored LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light, # MCL86RB, which draws .160 amps at 12.8 volts input. I posted a video review of this light for you to check out, see link.
