This low-profile rectangular light measures 3-15/16" long by 2-5/16" tall and uses a single white LED behind an amber lens. It draws only 0.01 amps at 12.8V, making it extremely efficient while still putting out bright, clean light. With LEDs that last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs, you won’t be dealing with replacements or burnt-out filaments. It’s built to run on 9V–16V DC systems, so it’s reliable and consistent every time you power up.
Keeping things simple is always better. This light has a built-in reflex reflector, so you don’t need to add a separate piece for compliance or visibility. It functions as either a clearance or side marker light when mounted properly, giving you flexibility without extra parts to install. The durable plastic housing and acrylic lens hold up well in everyday use and keep things looking clean and low-profile on your trailer.
If your trailer ever hits the water, this light is ready for it. The waterproof housing and sealed circuit board make it submersible—water won’t seep in to damage the diode or wiring. That makes it a solid choice for marine trailers or any setup exposed to rain, road spray, or washdowns. Everything is fully sealed inside one unit, so corrosion and moisture aren’t a concern.
Installation stays straightforward with a surface-mount flange design that lays flat against your trailer. You’ll just need mounting hardware (not included) to secure it in place—no special bracket required. The single-wire configuration keeps wiring clean; it grounds directly through the mounting hardware. With a 3-1/2" center-to-center hole spacing, it fits snugly while keeping wiring protected and tidy.
A P2-rated light throws its beam 45 degrees to either side of center for a total of 90 degrees of coverage—perfect for use as either a clearance or side marker light. That focused pattern gives clear visibility from head-on angles without glare from the sides, helping make sure your trailer is seen where it matters most on the road or at the ramp.

Today we're taking a look at the Peterson LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Might. This is a low profile LED trailer light that functions as a clearance or side marker light when properly mounted.It has the built in reflex reflector, which removes the need for a separate reflector. It is a LED system. It contains one LED. LEDs making great replacements for incandescent lights. They last longer, they burn brighter, they're more efficient.
With LEDs you don't have to worry about replacing bulbs and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments.We have a nice, durable black plastic housing with the acrylic amber lens. This is compatible with 12 volt DC systems. Its surface mounts to the trailer, hardware not included. And it's a single wire design, so this is our power wire, and then the unit grounds through the mounting hardware. It is P2 rated.
It's Department of Transportation compliant. Product's made in the USA.Few measurements to go over with you real quick, and then we'll hook it up to power so you can see what it looks like with power running to it. Edge to edge, measures about 3 and 15/16 inches, going that direction. Edge to edge right here is about 2 and 5/16. The overall depth, like we said, it's a low profile light, it's only 7/16 of an inch deep.
Mount holes are separated on center by 3 1/2 inches.All right, we're going to hook it up to power. We'll also turn off our overhead light so you can see it in a low light setting. The other thing I like about this too is, we have these little channels right here, so that's gonna allow us to run our wires out, and still have that flush surface mount installation. So you can see here, the light sends out a really nice clear, consistent signal. Again, it contains a total of one diode or one LED.
LEDs also have a much faster response time when compared to incandescent lights. And with it turned on, you can get a really good look at that built in reflector material that's built into the lens of the unit.That's gonna do it for today's look at the Peterson LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light.

Perfect fit! Arrived quickly
Excellent product!! Quick shipping!! Will do business again.
Thank you
2/3 of my order arrived correctly but one pair did not arrive, instead something I did not order arrived instead,
These clearance lights are the bees knees! The old bulb style were rusted and not working properly. Was able to remove them and these fit the holes perfectly on the trailer. I used a heat shrink connector to keep it waterproof. Love how bright they are!
Fast and accurate process.
very slim will work nice
The wire wasn't right in the middle so had to modify a bit to fit my trailer. Also, not incredibly bright, but it'll serve its purpose.
Received immediately. Easy to install and works great. My only concern is that they are made out of a very light plastic material and were a little pricey for single LED lights. They are definitely bright enough. I have not had a chance to put the trailer in the water to see if they are waterproof, but I’m sure they are.
The lights themselves are great and look good at night. Installed 7, 2 Reds and 5 Yellows on my horse trailer.
What was not so good was the cost. The Reds at the time I ordered were $x.xx each, while the Yellows were $xx.xx apiece. They are the exact same light with different color lenses. Why is that???
Anyhow, needed them and bought them.
Also, the shipping was right on, arrived quickly.
These are the same ones that are on my trailer! I need to replace two of them that are broke!!
What incredible customer service Cody. Cheers and thanks.
