Optronics Trailer Lights - MCL0040ABB

Highlights

  • One Light, Two Uses: Works as either a clearance or side marker light for simple setup.
  • Built-In Reflector: Reflex reflector removes the need for a separate reflector piece.
  • Bright, Efficient LED: One diode provides high visibility while drawing just 0.073 amps at 12V.
  • Long-Lasting Design: LED lasts 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb.
  • Tight, Weather-Resistant Seal: Attached gasket helps create a weathertight surface-mount seal.
  • Compact Fit: 2-1/2" diameter by 15/16" thick housing with snap-on amber polycarbonate lens.

Features to know about

Longer-Lasting Brightness: Efficient LED with 0.073-Amp Draw

Switching from old incandescent lights to LEDs makes a huge difference. This 2-1/2" round Optronics clearance or side marker light uses a single white LED behind an amber lens to give off a bright, clean signal while drawing only 0.073 amps at 12V. The LED lasts up to 50 times longer than traditional bulbs and doesn’t rely on fragile filaments, so you get consistent light and fewer replacements over time.

Built for Simplicity: Surface Mount with Snap-On Lens

Installing this light is straightforward. It surface mounts directly onto the trailer with hardware of your choice (not included), and the attached gasket helps form a weathertight seal against the surface. The polycarbonate lens snaps on securely for easy access when you need it, and the 2-wire pigtail—one for power and one for ground—keeps wiring simple and universal for most setups.

Extra Safety Without Extra Parts: Built-In Reflex Reflector

You don’t need to add a separate reflector with this light. Its built-in reflex reflector adds visibility even when the LEDs aren’t powered, helping other drivers spot your trailer from different angles. That’s one less component to buy and install, simplifying your lighting system while keeping it compliant and visible day or night.

Focused Illumination Where It’s Needed: P2-Rated 90-Degree Beam

This light’s P2 rating gives it a defined 90-degree beam spread—45 degrees to each side of centerline—for clear visibility from straight on but not from the extreme side. That beam pattern makes it ideal as either a clearance light or a side marker light, depending on where you mount it. If you need both functions, just install two lights for full coverage.

Durable Design That Holds Up: Polycarbonate Lens and ABS Housing

The Optronics MCL0040ABB is made to handle regular use without cracking or fading. The amber polycarbonate lens and black ABS housing resist impact and weathering, making it a dependable choice for everyday towing or hauling in changing conditions. It’s not rated for submersion, but it stands up well against road spray and moisture thanks to its sealed construction and quality materials.

I own a 2024 Forest River Impression and needed a new marker light. I looked everywhere, auto part stores, Amazon, Walmart, Camping World...everywhere and could not match what I have. Then I remembered etrailer.com and there they were! Thanks etrailer! Ordering was easy, shipping was a little slow, but to be fair, I'm in Florida and use to Amazon arriving just after I place an order. Above all I applaud them for stocking those RV/Trailer items that just can't be found easily!

  • Replacement Lens and Side Marker Light Options for 2.5 Inch Round Optronics RV Marker Lights
    Rey, I completely understand wanting to get the correct replacement the first time because with RV marker lights, even a small difference in diameter, wiring style, or reflector design can turn a simple swap into a frustrating rewiring project. Based on your description, I actually think you may be using the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light with Reflector part # MCL0040RBB since you mentioned the built in reflex reflector and the red lens style. If this is the correct...

  • Availability of a 2.5" Round Amber Light for a Turn Signal
    Hey Shaun, It sounds like you're looking for the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector # MCL0040ABB or something similar to it. If you need a different style please let me know and I can help you filter through the linked selection to get what you're needing. These can be used as a turn signal if you have a dedicated turn signal circuit. Typically, the turn signal is on the same circuit as the brake signal though so you'll need to make sure those are separated out.

  • Looking For 2 Replacement Lights To Replace PP16871 Amber Lights
    Hey Dennis, I was not able to gather any information off of the part number you mentioned for that amber light so I am not sure we have a direct replacement. The closest light we do have is going to be # MCL0040ABB, which is a amber clearance light coming in at 2-1/2" in diameter. We do not have one that is exactly 2-1/4" so you may have to enlarge the housing it may sit in. If you are able to send me a photo of the light you have I can take a look off of that and see if we have a adequate...

  • Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector Mounting Instructions
    I would be happy to help you with some mounting instructions for the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer item # MCL0040ABB. The directions are extremely vague so I will walk you through the process. You will want to connect the white wire to the ground wire on your trailer and the yellow wire to the power source using a heat shrink butt connector item # 05731-5 to make a weather tight connection. Then remove the lens from the cover of the light to access the mounting holes on...

  • How to Find Correct Replacement Amber Round Clarence Light for Forest River Wolf Pup Trailer
    I do have some options for you but without a part number or measurements, it would be hard to nail down exactly which one you need. I know you found what you thought was the part number but that's not actually it, that is a DOT number. The part number would be on the base of the light which you would find with the cover removed. I have attached for you below a list of all our round lights with amber lens made by Optronics. I recommend measuring what you have and sorting the selection down...

    SAE is not actually a part number, it just means it passed a safety test for Society of Automotive Engineers, which is likely why you were having trouble finding it.

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For Adding New LED Lights To Vintage Trailer
    To wire the 4 clearance lights # MCL0040ABB, license plate light # M298C, and tail lights # STL190RB to your 12' long 75" wide vintage trailer, I recommend starting the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness with 42" Ground Wire # A40W42B which is 40' long meaning you will have enough extra wire to connect all of the lights you are planning on adding. The # A40W42B will install as follows: Brown wire to each of the yellow wire on each of the # MCL0040ABB, to the brown wire on the # M298C,...

  • How Does Lens of Optronics LED Clearance Light part # MCL0040ABB Come Off
    The lens of the Optronics LED Clearance Light part # MCL0040ABB pops off. You'd want to insert a small screwdriver between the lens and the housing and it would come right off.

  • Availability of Replacement Lens for Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light
    The only way to replace the lens on the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector # MCL0040ABB is to replace the entire light. Unfortunately, a replacement lens is not something that is available.

  • Are The Optronics LED Clearance Light # MCL0040ABB Waterproof
    No, The Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector # MCL0040ABB are non-submersible. The LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light w/ Reflex Reflector # MCL59AB are submersible. This light has 8 diodes compared to one so they're brighter, and have a less power output. The light has a durable polycarbonate housing and lens. I attached a review video link below.

    Assuming your clearance lights are surface-mounted, we do have an option for 2-1/2 inch round, 2-wire amber clearance lights: - Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector - 1 Diode - Round - Amber Lens # MCL0040ABB These are typically used on trailers, but they do have just the ground and power wire running from them, so you can use them as replacements since yours have the same wiring.

  • Recommended Oval Taillight Wiring Kit for Kayak Trailer
    I do have an option for you though we don't have an all inclusive wiring kit with oval taillights. I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Lights part # TLL12RK with the 25 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # A25W2GWB and the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light part # MCL0040ABB. In order to hook-up to a seven way connector, you'll also need an adapter like the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter part # PK12716.
