Features to know about

Brighter, Longer-Lasting, and Efficient: 8-Diode LED Beehive Light

Swapping old bulbs for reliable LEDs makes a big difference in how your trailer stands out. This 2-1/2" diameter red beehive light uses 8 LEDs that last up to 50 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. With only 0.061 amps drawn at 12.8V, it’s both bright and efficient, giving off clean light while keeping the power demand low. No bulbs to replace, no fragile filaments—just consistent performance every time you hook up.

Worrying About Water Damage: Fully Submersible and Sealed

If your trailer sees heavy rain or even full submersion, this light is built for it. The housing and lens are sonically sealed into one solid piece, making it completely waterproof and submersible. That means no water creeping in to fry the diodes or corrode the wiring. Even after repeated dunking, you can count on the light to stay sealed and dependable.

Durability That Holds Up: Tough Polycarbonate Construction

Road grime, gravel spray, and vibration can take a toll on lesser lights. This one is made with a durable polycarbonate housing and lens that can handle the abuse of regular towing and still look good doing it. It’s designed to stay secure whether you mount it flush or recessed using the proper grommet (sold separately), keeping your setup tight and clean.

Clear Visibility Where It Counts: P2-Rated Beam Spread

Visibility is key for safety, and this P2-rated light throws its beam 45 degrees to each side of centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage. That focused spread makes it ideal as either a clearance light or a side marker light when properly mounted. You’ll have confidence knowing other drivers can clearly see your trailer’s edges at night or in low-light conditions.

Straightforward Install: Standard 2-Prong Plug Connection

No complicated wiring here—this light accepts any industry-standard 2-prong plug such as the A46PB or A86PB (sold separately). It mounts with an optional grommet to keep things neat and secure. The setup is simple: connect power and ground using the plug, press it into the mount, and you’re ready to roll with bright, efficient LED lighting that just works.

Purchased product as described with fair price and quick shipping



by:

Staff like these new lights because they are easier to see trailer at night when backing up.



by:

Good looking marker lights for my Cardinal travel trailer. With the 2" grommet this will look wonderful.



by:

Good product at a good price. Replaced my regular lights with LED lights from etrailer.com. Much brighter with less power draw. happy with purchase.



by:

These really look great!

CAUTION:
Nowhere in the description does it indicate that these come with NO WAY of mounting them. If you don't have an existing mounting bracket and pigtail (as was my case) they arrive and then you realize you can't get your project done because you lack parts.

Get the parts you need, and these are great!



by:

Repeat customer here and always satisfied with product quality, prices and fast shipping. The side marker lights I ordered were exact fit for my snowmobile trailer. Thanks again!



by:

these are NOT bright at all you cannot see the light is on unless you're coming at it from the full front on Ie. Facing it. the Leds don't light up the full amber lens. waste of my money



by:

Just what we ordered thank you



by:

While stripping paint from my 1948 trailer the stripping product damaged the running lights on the trailer. The new light quickly arrived from etrailer and were easily adapted to my vintage trailer. Here's a picture of the trailer with the new lights toward the front. Thanks!

They were the exact replacement (I had to reorder to get the correct size, my fault).



by:

Had flush mount clearance lights on back of my trailer and couldn’t see where the back of trailer was at night, put these on and no problem seeing where the end of the trailer is now. They fit as they should and brightness is perfect.
