Features to know about

Reliable Lighting for Safer Towing: 4-Function Incandescent Tail Light

This 3-3/4" round Peterson tail light keeps things simple and dependable. It handles four functions—stop, tail, turn, and license plate lighting—so you get all the signals you need in one housing. The built-in license plate light illuminates the plate clearly without needing a second fixture. It’s DOT compliant and designed for 12V DC systems, drawing 2.2 amps at 12.8V through a single 1157 bulb that’s easy to replace when needed.

Straightforward Mounting That Just Works: 2-Stud Surface Mount Setup

Mounting this light is about as easy as it gets. Two 1/4" studs are fixed on the back with a 2" center-to-center spacing, so it bolts right onto flat metal surfaces without extra brackets or drilling odd holes. The ground is built into the hardware—just tighten it down to bare metal and you’re done. A 10" two-wire lead handles power for running lights and stop/turn circuits, making wiring clear and quick.

Durable Construction You Can Count On: Polycarbonate Housing and Screw-On Lens

Made with a tough polycarbonate body and a red wrap-over lens that screws on securely, this light holds up well against road wear and vibration. The materials resist cracking and fading over time, and if the lens ever gets damaged, replacements are readily available. This design makes long-term maintenance simple without replacing the entire assembly.

Classic Style That Stays Functional: Round Incandescent Design

For those who like a traditional look, this round light keeps that familiar style while staying practical. At 3-3/4" in diameter and 2-5/8" thick, it fits cleanly on most trailer panels without sticking out awkwardly. The incandescent glow is bright and easy to spot from behind—perfect for keeping your trailer visible day or night while maintaining that classic trailer-light appearance.

3-3/4" Round. Incandescent trailer light serves as a stop, tail, turn, and license plate light. Durable polycarbonate housing with screw-on lens. Stud mount with included studs. 2-Wire design grounds through mounting hardware. (1) 1157 Bulb.

by:

The tail lights are replacements for ones that rusted. They are not installed, but the stud pattern and size are exactly as described and fit the light bracket very well. The tag bracket only needs slight modification to attach to the left tail light bracket. The parts are satisfactory for my needs. Thanks.



by:

This trailer has been a real pain. Hard to find bearings and seals were nearly impossible The lighting enclosures border on stupid. I really appreciate you guys going the extra mile. You got my business. Thanks, Joe in Bend Oregon



by:

Having an older trailer, it was important to find a newer match for the trailer tail lights. These were just the thing I was looing for and at the right price with shipping.



by:

this is an inexpensive light that was originally used on pull behind trailers. It is smaller OD than usual, because people used tom put them inside steel pipe to protect them. With the advent of low profile leds, this lights usage has declined. etrailer has it in stock at a reasonable price and good quality. these lights are most often sold when someone wants to match their old style, or put back inside a steel pipe.



by:

I purchased trailer lighting for my flatbed trailer. Very satisfied with the parts and the service I received. Will use you again when the need arises.



by:

excellent service and product



by:

I put this on a classic Holsclaw motorcycle trailer. I felt it was the closest representation of the lights that came with the trailer and this brand was recommended to me by an enthusiast group that loves these old trailers. I was very happy to see that etrailer carried this brand. Even though I live close to the warehouse, I had these shipped and they arrived quickly. These are well made, durable and so far have worked flawlessly.



by:

The products were acceptable quality and the customer service was UNEQUALED, EXEMPLARY, GREAT, etc.

The trailer overhaul job went well and we hauled a capacity load almost 1500 miles in some difficult road conditions, stopping only for fuel and to sleep.

We'll use your products again.



by:

There work great! I used them to require and older sailboat trailer that has two license plate lights, one for the plate, the other to illuminate to boat to not startle people at night.



by:

Would have helped having wiring directions, lights had black and red wires, didn't match the wiring harness

I'm sorry about that, it sounds very frustrating! The black wire carries the running light circuit and the red wire carries the stop and turn signal.



by:

I got the round 431800 & 432000 for a 4x6 ft trailer. I had to mount them at 90 degrees from horizontal in order to light the license plate. The 432000 is designed for the license plate to be under the light. I sent an email to etrailer asking if they would let rain water in when mounted this way. They responded in about a week & said they would be fine. Well, they are not fine. Both will let rain water in when mounted this way as the drain hole is now on the side instead of bottom! I tried to caulk the holes, but caulk does not stick to the plastic. I used tape inside the housing with caulk sticking to it. Not sure how well that will work. I drilled new drain holes in the bottom. I replaced the lens screws with SS ones. I kept these only because I could not find anyone else selling them. They work, but my old ones had the clear lens welded to the housing and could be mounted anyway. These are cheap and the clear lens is snapped in with lots of gaps for water to come in. Not real happy with the results.

Broke the factory taillights on my 2003 Kawasaki Mule. They are 90 plus bucks each from Kawasaki...Ouch! I bought two of these and they were shipped all for under xx bucks! They fit perfectly, do what they are intended for and look great on my mule. Thanks E Trailer!

I made an excellent choice. Everything works well and has resisted the elements well. Very happy with this.



by:

The lights came in a very timely fashion. They were well packed. I replaced my 1965 camper trailer tail lights and these fit just right. The price was very competitive and since I had good results in a previous order, I went with etrailer again.

Great follow up, Laura.The lights were just like the original ones on my trailer. Installed easily and worked the first try. I wanted to keep my 1965 Bethany camper as original as possible and these lights did the job.



by:

Would like in led and wires could be longer make insulation easier.



by:

Couldn’t tell from the photos if they were waterproof for a boat trailer. Would be good for landscape or construction trailer but can not be submerged



by:

Very well made



by:

Great experience



by:

Needed a quality light that I could use on a motorcycle bobber build; and this fit the project perfectly.
Thank You for your excellent service.



by:

Lights were exact replacement and just what I needed. Your website detail was helpful with installation.



by:

Our old lights in the back of the 1976 Ford F100 wore out. These are almost a match. I couldn’t find any without the clear lens for license plate. Covered the lens with black tape. All good. Thanks. Great service fast delivery.



by:

The product came 3 days later then I was originally informed it would be received. The housing for the light was plastic rather than metal. It did have the mounting hardware. I was able to get it installed and it is working.

Its been a year after installation in all kinds of travel weather and just to light is still working perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone in need.

Received the lights on the day they were supposed to be delivered. The dimensions were as described on the website so they fit perfectly. Wired them up and now good to go!

  • Recommended Tail Light Mounting Bracket w/ 2" Spacing for Mounting Holes
    Hey Isaac. 3" is the total width of the Steel Mounting Bracket for Peterson Stud Mount Tail Lights item # 510-9. The mounting holes are spaced 2" and 2-3/8" apart. I have attached a diagram below so you can see all the measurements. This bracket is designed to be used with lights like the Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light item # 432000 for left hand or item # 431800 for right hand. What kind of lights are you installing?

  • Are Driver and Passenger Side Peterson Trailer Tail Lights Different
    That's a good question, but different tail lights are needed for the driver and passenger side for trailers, including the Peterson lights you asked about. The reason they are marked as "Driver Side" and "Passenger Side" is because the drivers side light has a bulb underneath which illuminates the license plate, as shown in the accompanying photo. So the lights you need are: - Driver Side: Peterson Trailer Tail Light # 432000 - Passenger Side: Peterson Trailer Tail Light # 431800 I...

    Based on your images it appears you have the Peterson Driver # 432000 and Passenger # 431800 lights currently on your 1965 Selma utility trailer. If you prefer something different the LED Trailer Tail Light # STL413RFHXB would be a good option with a 4" diameter.

  • Can Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light Be Mounted Turned 90 Degrees
    The Peterson trailer tail light # 431800 does have a top and bottom, indicated on the back of the light. Normally a light does have to be mounted a certain way because otherwise the light being emitted may not be visible the way it is supposed to be as it exits the lens. But on this light I do not see that as an issue. Ideally though using an additional bracket as shown in the linked video would be the way to go. The left hand side matching light, # 432000, is a different story. It has...

  • Replacement Tail Lights For RV Motorhome With 3-1/2" Diameter Tail Lights
    Thank you for the images. It appears you have the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # 432000 on your motorhome. We do have a replacement Lens # 420-15 if only the lens needs replaced. I do not see that we currently have a replacement lens for the reverse light but you may be able to use the LED Light # UCL09CB which is 3-1/4" in diameter. You may need to create a custom spacer since this LED light is much thinner than the incandescent you would be replacing. .

This light is 3-3/4" in diameter, 2-5/8" thick and the mounting studs are 2" on center. If this lens were to break you can still get a Replacement Lens # 420-15.

  • Passenger Side Tail Light to Match Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light # 432000
    The passenger side of the Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light # 432000 that you referenced is part # 431800 on our site. The only difference between them is that the driver's side has the license plate light on it. If you are going to be mounting the license plate below the light you can use either the steel bracket # 428-09 or the plastic bracket # 440-09.

  • Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light Wire Connections
    You are correct. The wires on the Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light with License Plate Light, part # 432000, are as follows. The brown wire is the running light circuit and the red wire is the stop and turn signal circuit. The light gets grounded through the mounting bolts to the trailer frame so it will need to be mounted to a metal surface connected to the trailer frame.

  • Diameter of Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light
    The Peterson Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Turn, Tail - Incandescent - Round - Red Lens - Passenger Side # 431800 and driver's side # 432000 are 3-3/4 inches diameter as you can see in the attached video. The fitguide simply puts 4 inches as the closest option as they often are rounded up in size to the closest fit. We do measure each product and the specific measurements are 3-3/4" diameter x 2-5/8" deep with mounting studs 2 inches on center.

  • LED 1157 Light Bulbs For Converting Peterson Trailer Tail Lights 432000 & 431800 From Incandescent
    I recommend replacing your Incandescent Bulbs # DI79VR on your Peterson Tail Lights # 432000 & # 431800 with LED Bulbs # CM93236. There is currently not a LED light that will bolt in place of your current Lens # 420-15 on your tail lights. These LED bulbs have a 2,000 hour bulb life.

  • Right Side Signal/Flasher Lights on Trailer Do Not Function After 4-Pole Installation
    The best way to troubleshoot your issue is to disconnect the trailer and test the 4-pole on the vehicle to ensure it is working properly independent of the trailer. You will need a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the contacts on the 4-pole one by one while a helper activates the various functions on the vehicle. If the Rogue's wiring exhibits proper performance for all functions, then you know the issue is on the trailer side. If not, you should contact your dealership. You can still...

You could get one of light # 432000, one of # 431800, and a 4-Way flat wiring harness, # A35W42B. You would just need some wiring components such as # HM51020 to make the connections and secure the wiring to the frame.

    In this case I recommend upgrading the lighting on your vintage trailer to lights designed for a 12 volt system. I have included a link to our trailer lighting for you. One of my favorites that has a vintage kind of look is the Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light, # 432000 for left hand side and # 431800 for right hand side. Unfortunately we do not offer a product that will convert the 12 volt system on your truck to a 6 volt system for your trailer.

  • Is there a Trailer Tail Light that Matches Peterson Back Up Light # 411SC
    We do not have an exact match for a red round tail light like the Peterson Back Up Light, # 411SC, that you have referenced that is a flange mount. The closest flange mounted lights are going to be the Peterson round tail lights # 431800 and # 432000. For a flush mounted light, you could use # 429800 which may be more what you are looking for. We also have the Optronics brand flange mounts # STL42RB or # ST47RB. They use wiring harness # A45PB.

  • Traditional Designed 4 Inch LED Trailer Taillight
    Although none of our suppliers offers a lamp like the # 432000 you specified in an LED version, we do offer a traditional design stud mounted LED lamp that could work for you. I'd recommend the # STL008RB for the passenger and # STL009RB for the driver side. The lamps are a bit larger, at just about 5 x 4-1/2 inches x 3 inches deep. If you have the space available, these lamps would be a good choice. I've linked to a demonstration video you might find helpful.
