Optronics Trailer Lights - MCL13R2B

Highlights

  • Clear Visibility in Any Weather: Sonically sealed, waterproof housing keeps water out so light performance stays consistent.
  • Low Power Draw: Only 0.046 amps at 12.8V means you can add multiple lights without overloading circuits.
  • Fewer Bulb Changes: Long-lasting LEDs use less power and avoid filament breakage.
  • Simple 2-Wire Hookup: Power and ground leads make installation quick on 12V DC setups.
  • Compact Fit: 2-1/2" x 1-1/16" rectangle mounts easily with 1-7/8" hole spacing.
  • Road Legal Lighting: DOT P2 rating ensures compliant clearance or side marker coverage.

Features to know about

Brighter and More Efficient Lighting: Dual-Diode LED Design

This compact 2-1/2" x 1-1/16" red marker light uses two LEDs that deliver a crisp, bright glow while drawing only 0.046 amps at 12.8V. That low current draw means you can even add multiple lights without worrying about overloading your wiring. The LEDs last up to 50 times longer than standard bulbs, so there’s no need to mess with replacements or deal with fragile filaments. It’s a clean, efficient upgrade that keeps your lighting system simple and reliable.

Protected From Water and Weather: Fully Submersible, Sealed Construction

If your trailer gets dunked or sees plenty of wet roads, this light is built to handle it. The red polycarbonate lens and housing are sonically sealed into one waterproof unit, keeping moisture out of the circuit board and diodes. That makes it a dependable pick for environments where other lights fail from corrosion or trapped water. Once mounted, it stays sealed and stays working—no foggy lenses or blown LEDs after a launch or rainstorm.

Simple Wiring for Clean Installs: Two-Wire Setup With 18-Gauge Leads

There’s no complicated wiring here—just connect the black power lead and the white ground wire, both made with durable 18-gauge wiring. Because it’s a surface-mount design, you can screw it directly onto the trailer frame using the 1-7/8" center-to-center mounting holes (hardware not included). The straightforward layout makes it easy to add or replace lights without rewiring an entire harness.

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

This P2-rated light throws a focused 90-degree beam pattern that’s visible straight on, providing clear signal visibility as either a clearance or side marker light when properly mounted. It’s DOT compliant and outputs from white LEDs behind a red lens for a clean, uniform appearance that meets safety standards while keeping your trailer visible in low light conditions.

Compact Durability in a Small Package: Polycarbonate Housing That Lasts

Even though it measures just 5/8" thick, the polycarbonate body is tough enough to hold its shape against impact and weathering. It’s a small but sturdy piece of gear built for long service life, backed by a lifetime warranty on the LEDs so you can count on consistent performance every time you hit the road or ramp.

Still love them and still going strong



by:

Excellent product.....Been using these for 15yrs...on boat trailers.....Never a failure!

Using the frame on a boat trailer is a big No No.....Most problems are Bad grounds....Run a separate Ground wire to your lights and waterproof the connections and your lights will last and function correctly!



by:

Very quick shipment, also very happy with my purchase!
Thanks



by:

Brighter than anticipated! Very nice and easy install. I broke one of my trailer lights due to a stray rock on a narrow road. This is a great replacement!!



by:

I bought red and amber LED marker lights and replaced all of the old corroded ones on my boat trailer. It didn't take long and they work great!



by:

Well Packaged, fast delivery, it's exactly what I ordered. If all the lights works, which have no doubts that it will when I hook it all up tomorrow then it will be money well spent and I will be a happy camper.

These lights are still mounted and working great. Well over 2 years and approximately 7500 miles later. Trailer is parked outside in sun, rain and snow. No lens fading and all the diodes are burning brightly. Great small marker light.



by:

Excellent products and excellent service. I never have to wait to receive parts from the fine people at etrailer and the quality is always excellent. My latest purchase, two pair of side marker LEDs installed easily and work perfectly. Thanks etrailer!

Thanks for asking. I havent had any problems with any of the products Ivereceived from eTrailer, ever. I have several trailers, all of them have someof your products on them and while I do check their operability before I geton the road with them, it is more about safety routine than concern thatIll have a problem.I think eTrailer is one of the best online stores period, I value yourbusiness and appreciate all of the excellent customer service you provide. Ispread the good word about eTrailer whenever I can. I appreciate yourfollow-up. It only reinforces my opinion that you all are tops in customerservice.Best Regards



by:

As advertised. Using as additional markers lights in ttailight in the twilight assembly



by:

Fit the bill perfectly.



by:

Very Good lights..... On boat trailers run a separate Ground wire to them...Do not use the trailer frame as your ground. 90% of failed lights are Bad Grounds to the trailer frame.

Fit perfectly in chrome gromet and work great.



by:

The lights and fenders I purchased from etrailer.com were first rate just as described. This was a rehab of an older trailer with rusted fenders and rotted floor & sideboards. The pictures show an extra bracket installed on the top of the fenders. While this may not look perfect, it truly makes the fender a rugged reliable step for a full size adult.
