If you’re upgrading from older lights, the Piranha LED makes a big difference. Its 3 red LEDs deliver vibrant light that stands out clearly while drawing only 0.05 amps at 12V. It runs on 9V–16V DC, so it’s efficient and steady across a range of systems. With LEDs that last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs, you get consistent brightness without worrying about replacing fragile filaments or dealing with dim, uneven output.
When lights take a beating from rain, road spray, or submersion, this one stays sealed tight. The housing and lens are sonically fused into a single waterproof unit, keeping water and dirt out. The durable SMD circuit design handles shock and vibration better too, so the light keeps working even in rough or wet conditions. It’s a dependable choice for trailers that see harsh use or occasional dips in the water.
This light puts out a strong, focused beam that covers a 90-degree spread—45 degrees to either side of center. That P2 rating means it works great as a clearance or side marker light when properly mounted. Other drivers can see it clearly from behind or at an angle, adding extra safety and compliance when your rig is on the road.
Mounting is straightforward. At 2-1/2" in diameter and 15/16" thick, it fits neatly into a recessed opening using a grommet (part 142-18, sold separately). It accepts an industry-standard 2-prong plug (part 162-49, sold separately), so wiring is simple and compatible with common trailer setups. If you’re replacing an existing light, you can reuse the hole and plug pattern—no drilling or rewiring needed.
Every detail is made for durability, from the sealed housing to the efficient LED board. It’s DOT-compliant and backed by a 10-year limited warranty, giving you long-term reliability and peace of mind every time you hook up and hit the road.

Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install, the Piranha LED clearance or side marker trailer light. Now this light, it's going to work great as either a direct replacement, or even an upgrade. And I say upgrade because over traditional style incandescent bulbs, this one's actually an LED. Now since it has those three LED diodes, it's going to be much brighter and last a really long time. You have no brittle filaments to worry about.
The days of having to keep spare bulbs inside of your truck's glove box are long gone. The light is going to be two and a half inches in diameter and it's going to be 15 sixteenths of an inch thick. That way you should be able to figure out which light is going to be the best option for your trailer.Now if we flip the light over, it's going to be sonically sealed, so everything will be nice and tight so it's going to be waterproof. And once you kind of get the light in your hand and feel it, you can just tell what it's really well built and should last for a really long time. Now the light is going to accept these standard two prong connector, like we have plugged in right now.
Now if your connector is damaged or anything like that and you need to get a new one, you can find them here etrailer.com. And since the LEDs are going to last a really long time, once you get the light installed, you're not going to have to worry about messing around with it. Speaking of installation, let's go ahead and put this in together now. To begin your installation, he moved back to the light that you're wanting to replace. In our particular situation, it is this missing side-marker.Now if your light is not missing, you'd simply remove it.
Now the way the lights are moved, you can kind of just push in on one side of the light and it'll kind of spin sideways and you're able to pull it out of the grommet. And to disconnect it, there's nothing special about these, you simply just pull back and that'll separate the two. Other than that, once you have it removed, you can simply plug the light in. Now, even though these terminals come with a little bit of dielectric grease on them, I like to add just a little bit more cause it can't hurt anything. And if you'd like to add some more too, find it here at etrailer.com.
Let's get those coated, plug that into the terminals and push it down to completely connected. But the light plugged in now, you simply just push it back into the grommet. Sometimes it can fit a little bit tight to the grommet, so we kind of just work around it and push back and get it to fully seat. Now it's always a good idea to test light, so you go ahead and put power to it and turn it on and make sure everything is working properly. And that'll finish up our look at and our installation of the Piranha LED clearance or side marker trailer light.

Bought lots of stuff good company very satisfied fast shipping. Thanks
Worked awesome as a replacement for my flat bed lights
When the manufacturer said they no longer carried the part I needed for my trailer, I found you guys on online. And sure enough you guys had just what I needed. Next time I'm going straight to you guys.Good price and service, love your tracking app. Thank you, enjoyed doing business with you.
I used these lights to replace the burnt out lights on the back and sides of my box trucks. These are much brighter than the originals, and as they are LED, I expect them to last much longer as well. The price was also great.
Not sure its anyones fault but the LED marker lights on my trailer fasten to the wall with screws and today that style is not made as it was in 2017...So i am rating the lights "average" cause till i open the light up without busting it I got to make it work and your lights are just the same as the rest...lights look fine and i will let you know how it works out...
Ordered 4 of your 2 1/2 inch round LED marker lights. Price was good, shipping time was good, but you placed large stickers over two of the lenses. It took a lot of effort and time to remove the goo off the lights from these stickers.
