- Bright Visibility, Low Draw: 2 red LEDs use just 0.03 amps at 12.8V for clear, efficient lighting.
- Simple Install Anywhere: Fits an 11/16" hole with included black PVC grommet and 2-wire pigtail.

Features to know about
Brighter and More Efficient Lighting: Dual-Diode LED Clarity
This small 3/4" round light punches far above its size with two bright red LEDs that deliver strong, even illumination. Drawing only 0.03 amps at 12.8 volts, it gives you the visibility of a much larger lamp while keeping the electrical load extremely low. With no filaments to break and no bulbs to replace, these LEDs last up to 50 times longer than traditional incandescent lights—perfect for anyone wanting reliable brightness without constant maintenance.
Worry-Free Against Water and Weather: Fully Sealed and Submersible
If your setup ever gets wet, this light is built to take it. The housing and red polycarbonate lens are sealed together as one waterproof unit, so the internal circuit board stays protected even when submerged. You can count on it to handle rain, spray, or full dunking without moisture sneaking in or corroding the diodes.
Better Coverage for Safer Driving: PC-Rated 180-Degree Visibility
Seeing and being seen from multiple angles is key for safety. This PC-rated light throws light across a full 180 degrees—90 degrees on either side of the centerline—so it works as both a clearance light and a side marker when mounted properly. That wide beam helps make your trailer or rig more visible from the front, side, and rear in low-light conditions.
Compact Fit, Clean Install: Recessed Mount with Included Grommet
Tight spaces aren’t an issue here. At just 3/4" in diameter and 7/8" deep, this round light tucks neatly into place using the included black PVC grommet. Installation only needs an 11/16" hole and uses a simple 2-wire pigtail—black power lead and white ground—for straightforward wiring. It’s an easy way to get a clean, flush look that stays protected from bumps and snags.

I bought a couple more of these two-diode LED clearance lights to add some more lighting to the rear of my kayak trailer. They work nice and are easy to install in 3/4" holes that I drilled through a piece of aluminum angle. The trailer has orange clearance lights on the front sides, red clearance lights on the back sides, the stop/turn/parking lights on the back, three red clearance lights on the back, and a white LED license plate light. It's really lit up and very visible at night from the rear and sides. Thanks to etrailer.com for great products and services!
My wife and I like to kayak, but we don't like to deal with putting our kayaks on roof racks on the top of a car. So I bought a used Load-Rite trailer that was designed to hold one Jet Ski, and added a frame made of slotted angle and 2x6 lumber to hold the kayaks, and a cargo box from Tractor Supply to hold kayak seats, life jackets, towels, sun-protection clothing, and some spare gear (ropes etc), and bought all new LED lighting from etrailer.com. The paddles are too long for the cargo box so they have to go in the car! The kayaks are tied down to the trailer with several ropes front and rear, so there is a lot of safety factor in the design....I don't worry about the kayaks coming off the trailer! The entire rig works great....when we return from a kayak trip we just back the trailer in the barn and it's ready to go for our next trip. I put a 5" diameter wheel on the trailer just behind the hitch so I can push it around on flat level surfaces. See the pictures.

Great addition to the basic, rear brake lights of a camp trailer.
I added these LED RED to the brake/turn function, within the existing, small holes in the rear bumper--much more apparent when stopping/turning.
These sealed LED lights are very common on larger trucks and trailers now. Easy to install and very robust assembly...priced right!

I ordered these light to be used as accent light on a new lift table for my company. I needed low profile and fairly bright red light to be reflected off our off-white power coat. These little lights out preformed what we were hoping for. The only thing I don't like about them is the instructions say to drill a 11.16" hole. Assembly was WAY too tight at that dimension. So we stepped it up a fraction at a time and found that 17/64" (.73) and 3/4" (.75) were perfect. Even at 3/4" the grommet was snug and water tight. The light had to be squeezed into place but at 11/16" I felt like I was about to brake the light.
Overall I am super pleased with the lights. We added them to the Bill of Materials and we will be ordering them for these new carts.

I bought 6 of these lights to put on my jet ski trailer. 4 amber and 2 red. And they are very bright. I highly suggest putting these lights onto your fenders. I put an amber and a red one on each fender in their appropriate locations of course. It helps when backing up into small dimly lit spaces at night...like a driveway The red ones reflect off of whatever you are backing towards...and the amber ones give you an idea how close you are to walls or trees in the side mirrors.
Just be cautious when you put them in. Make sure that in your mind everything is good to go (like, say, the wiring), and you do not need to pull it back out. If you push it in all the way...good luck getting it out. The grommet mushrooms out at the bottom basically locking it in place. If there was a warning about this on this site and I missed it...my bad.
I just made sure I left them all loose until I was done, made sure the wires in the trailer (especially the ground wire) were not getting stretched or pinched, as my trailer is old, and then pressed them all in by hand. I made the mistake of pressing one into my passenger fender...just to see how it looked. This was before I started wiring anything. At this point I was drilling the 3/4" holes...which by the way is very time consuming. I spent a few minutes trying to remove it without damaging the wires. No luck. Not even a little did it want to budge. And I was able to get at it from the top and bottom. Thank goodness this didn't happen with the holes I put into the sides of the trailer because I think I may have had to destroy that light just to get it out and wire it up, which would have sucked because I think that would have pissed me off to the point of not even wanting to use the lights anymore and I would have picked something else out. And that would have been a shame because these lights put out an incredible amount of light.
When you put them in the first time, they give off a sort of weird glow. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first.
If you manually adjust the lights to the proper DOT code or whatever, they look good. But, if you rotate them so that they are horizontal instead of vertical, they put out a ton of light towards the street. What I'm saying is...if you want to change it up, you can turn them all horizontal in a matter of seconds, and be lighting up the road...literally...just like the neon vehicle underbody kits of the 90's. Admit it. You thought they were cool too. Now, you can sort of have that, except it's legal.
I went overkill on my small trailer. At least I thought I did. Now, after using it at night, I am more than satisfied. What a huge difference these tiny lights make.

What a great idea. Follow up with customers to get feedback. That way you can tell if the products are still good or if they have limited lifespans. You get to see if people are still happy and get them thinking about your company again if theyre in the market for more trailer stuff.To answer your question, I do not have them anymore. I sold all of my gear, but do know they are still working. I really liked those small lights. They put out an incredible amount of light and were easy to install once I drilled holes into my old trailer.

These are some bright LEDs! I'm going to use them as rear bumper accent lights on my truck and judging from their quality I would believe they will last for a very long time. They arrived very quickly-so fast that I am now waiting to receive the waterproof connectors that I purchased from another vendor. I would buy these LEDs again!

Youre very welcome for the product reviews I was glad to do them. The lights are excellent little marker lights and are noticeably bright. I custom installed them on the front and rear of my 2015 F150 and many times I have been asked by other folks where I got them. I have always pointed them in your direction so may be youve gotten a few sales!

I ordered two small trailer lights from this place, when they came, for whatever reason, they weren't the same light. Kim P. at e-trailer went out of her way as far as I was concerned to make sure I got taken care of and got the right light coming. Outstanding customer service! Would definitely buy from this place again.

These lights are bright and were easy to install. I ran additional red lights in the back of the trailer and amber down the sides. While the trailer is only 22' long, it's fully visible now.
Just be sure to test fit in a thin piece of material prior to drilling into your trailer. I did find the need to use a slightly different sized drill bit for proper fitment.
As always, ordering from etrailer was simple and the product came quickly. There was no damage to the contents as it was packed well.

Purchased (3) of these Mini LED lights to install on a over 80" boat trailer. The v shape frame didn't have enough room to mount a (3)
light Identification light bar on the frame because of the center roller mounted on the frame.
I drilled a 3/4" hole in the center of the frame under the roller to mount the middle light, then drilled holes for the outer lights 6" from the center to mount the other lights. The rubber grommets fit snug in the 3/4" holes.
At night these (3) mini LED's shows up just like a Identification Light Bar.

using two of them on the bow guides of my boat trailer as a second set of brake lights...it would be nice if they were a 3 wire setup so they could stay light when the running lights are on as well as work together with the brake lights but for the price you just cant go wrong...LED's seem to last forever so spend the money once and never mess with them again

MCL11akb: Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Amber Lens - MCL11AKB Purchased both the AMBER and RED. Very BRIGHT for such a small light. 2 LED, are better then another brand I purchased that had 1 LED that was supposed to be brighter then the 2, it Wasn't. I like this product, used the amber on the front of the truck, used the RED to highlight some spots on the rear of the trailer. High Quality Rubber Grommet, solid construction, water proof. Which the wires came with connectors. For the money its' a solid purchase.

I am repurposing a trailer that I built 20 years ago and after lots of cutting and welding to lengthen the trailer 6 feet, I decided to install a new electrical system including all new LED lights. I purchased two amber, and five red, of these small 3/4" lights. The two ember were used for the front marker lights and two of the red were used for rear marker lights on the corners. The other three were used across the rear for rear marker lights. The lights are very bright and were simple to install and wire up. They had them in stock and shipped them to me within three days.

These lights will be installed on my 48 ft step deck trailer. My old lights stick out about an inch or so and I am constantly breaking them off when I chain a load down. These lights stick out about a 1/4 inch and should not get broken also this model has 2 diodes instead of only one. Etrailer gave me fast delivery at a very good price I will be a returning customer.

I really like these little marker LED lights. They are nice and bright and by rotating the housing you can somewhat adjust the beam pattern. I've used the yellow lights on the front apron of my F150 as marker lights and the red ones have been installed on the rear of my truck as running lights and also turn signals. I especially like that they are epoxy-sealed units and the wires have a rubberized sleeve for exterior use. I really wish that these lights would come in a dual intensity version so that they could be used as both running lights-turn signals or running lights-brake lights.

- Do You Have a Replacement Red LED Marker Light that is 3/4" and Plugs into a Harness?Hello Scott, The closest thing that I can find to what you are describing is the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Red Lens # MCL11RKB, but it doesn't plug into a harness.

view full answer... - Wiring a 2011 Victory Motorcycle and Trailer for TowingFor simplicity, I would recommend wiring the motorcycle trailer as a vehicle trailer would be. A powered converter wiring kit, like part # C59496, would be connected to the motorcycle, which would provide a 4-pole trailer connector. The converter combines the brake lamp and the directional signal onto one circuit. The 4-pole connector utilizes four circuits, the white wire which is the ground, the green wire carries the right turn and brake light combined on one circuit, the yellow wire...

- Mounting a Marker Light at a 45 Degree Angle at the Back of a TrailerIf you think of the back of the trailer as flat and straight left to right, and the sides of the trailer flat and straight front to back, where they meet in the corner would be a right angle. If you were to mount the light in that corner, so that it doesn't face straight back or straight to the side, it would be at a 45 degree angle in the corner. Basically, you would be able to see the light illuminate straight on, and from either side of the light. I have included a link to the right...

- Hole Size Hole Needed to Install Sealed Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light # MCL11RKBWe have determined that you would need an 11/16 inch hole for a tight fit when installing Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light # MCL11RKB. A 3/4 inch hole could work but it would be slightly looser.
view full answer... - Metal Thickness for Installing Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light with GrommetThe grommet of the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light with Grommet - Red Lens # MCL11RKB is approximately 5/16" so trailer frame thickness just under that would be ideal. It does require an 11/16" hole and there is also an amber version of this light, which is part # MCL11AKB.

If you go to your local hardware or home improvement store and ask a clerk for a drill bit that is designed for steel they should be able to show you their selection.

It is the responsibility of the trailer owner to determine the width of their trailer, and to ensure that it lit according to state and federal regulations. Your state police, highway patrol or department of transportation is a great resource for finding the regulations that apply in your area.

view full answer... - How Can I Install Trailer Identification Lights With Little ClearanceThe 3 LED Identification Light Kit for Trailers # MCL22RK3B have a 3 wire connection. This is because they are intended to be used as running lights and to light up brighter as brake lights. Because trailers use combined wiring, meaning the brake and turn signals are on the same circuit, if the wires are connected as brake lights, they will work as turns signals as well. Avoiding this is when you would need a 2-to-3 converter. Another option, in case the ultra thin bar is cutting it...

- Availability Of Trailer Clearance Light That Fits In 1" Diameter HoleI have another option for you, but at this time we do not offer a clearance light that will fit a 1" diameter hole. Instead I recommend installing the LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light with Reflex Reflector - 2 Diodes - Red Lens # 328-K-52 which will cover the hole in your trailer, and will mount directly to the frame of your trailer. I included a video of the # 328-K-52 for you to take a look at.

view full answer... - Can a Dimmer be Put on Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light # MCL11CAKBLED lights use such little power, 0.047 amps for # MCL11CAKB, that it might be difficult to be able to put a dimmer of any kind on it. If you can find a dimmer that works at the milliamp level then it could work. This light can be used as a clearance light, as can the red version # MCL11RKB but they are not DOT approved as trailer brake lights.
view full answer... - Could Trailer Clearance Lights MCL11RKB Be Used As Turn Signals on TrailerThe clearance lights part # MCL11RKB are single intensity clearance lights so if you wanted to use them as turn signals you would need to have the turn signal separated from the stoplight circuit. Most trailers are wired with the stop and turn signal carried on the same wire so you would need a signal converter like the part # 118158.
view full answer... - Installation Instructions for Mini LED Clearance Light on Custom TrailerThe rubber grommet included with the Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light, # MCL11RKB, is designed to be installed in a metal housing that is thinner than the 1/4 inch plywood that you are using for the skin of your tear drop trailer. I recommend cutting a larger hole in the skin of your trailer and adding a piece of aluminum with the light installed in that. You might also go with a surface mount clearance light instead like # MC58RB.
