Features to know about

Brighter Visibility with Lower Power Draw: 6-Diode LED Light

Older incandescent lights can dim over time or draw too much power for modern setups. This Peterson Piranha LED clearance and side marker light uses six surface-mounted diodes that produce a vibrant amber glow while drawing only 0.15 amps at 12V. The LED design lasts up to 50 times longer than a traditional bulb, giving you steady illumination without worrying about blown filaments or high current use.

Keeping Moisture Out: Sealed Waterproof Housing

Moisture is one of the fastest ways to ruin trailer lighting, but this light is built to prevent that. The sealed housing and lens are fully waterproof, protecting the internal circuit board from water intrusion and corrosion. Even in wet weather or spray from the road, the LEDs stay protected so your light keeps working when it matters most.

Better Coverage and Safety: PC-Rated 180-Degree Illumination

Dim or narrow-beam lights make it hard for other drivers to see you from an angle. This PC-rated light throws a 90-degree beam on either side of center for a full 180 degrees of coverage. That means your trailer is visible both head-on and from the side, letting this single unit serve as a clearance, side marker, or mid marker when mounted properly.

Strong Design That Handles Rough Roads: SMD Circuit Construction

Vibration can shake lesser lights apart, but this one’s built tougher. Its Surface Mounted Diode (SMD) circuit board design resists shock and vibration, handles heat better, and allows a thinner profile without compromising strength. The result is a durable light that holds up on long hauls and rough surfaces alike.

Simple Mounting and Wiring: Surface-Mount with 3-Wire Setup

Installing new trailer lights shouldn’t require drilling big holes or special adapters. At 6" long by 2" wide and just 1-9/16" thick, this rectangular light mounts flat against your trailer surface using existing holes spaced 4-3/4" apart (hardware not included). The three-wire design makes it easy to hook up running, ground, and turn signal circuits for consistent performance every time you tow.

The product works as advertised and customer service was excellent!

I had the light for about 6 months and it worked fine for that amount of time



by:

3 stars because of the clunky design, no gasket or screws. That said these are nice and bright and add turn signals to the side of the motor home; hope fully that will make us more visible. Used # 12 SS screws 1 inch long to mount.

Just what i was looking for

Right on!

Ordered these to replace side marker lights on a deckover trailer. Works a lot better than incandescent lights, and much brighter.



by:

I installed these lamps and my daughter’s 2012 Thor RV to replace the outdated and faded incandescent lights. They were amazing from the start. I get nothing but compliments on how bright and clear they are along with how easy they are to see. I’d recommend them to anyone with old style lamps on their trailer or RV.



by:

It's a nice bright light and matches the originals perfectly. Little pricey but a good experience.

  • Is There a Light Bezel for the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light
    There is one option, though there isn't an exact chrome bezel made for the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light with Turn Signals # M353R (Red Lens) or # M353A (Amber Lens). The Chrome Bezel # A48CB is designed to fit 6" long x 2-1/4" tall lights while the Peterson are 6" long x 2" tall so they will be a little short so I can't absolutely guarantee they will work, but they are the closest option. Otherwise, these lights will attach to your trailer without a bezel,...

  • How to Wire Peterson Amber LED Clearance Light to Illuminate Only with Turn Signals and Not Brakes
    If the wiring is combined on your trailer for the brake and turn signal circuit, then the Amber Piranha LED Clearance Light # M353A that you referenced will illuminate with either function activated. This will not have the ability to split the signals and only illuminate brightly with the turn signals. If you aren't wanting this light to illuminate with the brake signal, then you will just need to add a converter like # RM-732. You will want to splice this to the wiring at the front of...

  • What to Do With Third Wire on Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light
    Hi Adam; the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light # M353A and # M353R you bought have an additional turn signal function. If you don't care about this function and only want them to act as side marker lights you can tape off the red turn signal wire like you said. If you want to use that functionality you will have to run extra wire and tap into the turn signal running back to the tail lights.

  • Replacing Peterson PM130 Incandescent Trailer Lights with LED Versions
    I will be happy to help you find the right LED replacement lights for your horse trailer. Based on the information you have provided the amber LED replacement is # MCL76AB. The red version is # MCL76RB. Another option is to use Peterson lights # M353A and # M353R. Since lights can sometimes go through design changes the new lights may not have the exact same dimensions as the old lights so that would be why you see slight differences in the measurements between your old lights and these lights.

  • Recommended LED Side Marker Light for 2001 4-Star Horse Trailer
    The Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal - 6 Diodes - Amber Lens # M353A you were looking at are an LED light that is 6" long x 2" wide and has 4-3/4" between the mounting holes. These would be a great replacement and are the only side marker light we have available with all of the matching dimensions. If you're planning on using the blinker function on these lights and the rest of your trailer has incandescent lights you will need to add resistors...

  • Trailer Wiring and Lights For Rewiring 5' X 8' Trailer With Reverse Lights And Side Marker Lights
    Both the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353A and Miro-Flex LED Trailer Side Marker Light and Mid-Ship Turn Signal # OPT78FR are sold individually. We do not offer them as a pair for lower price. Since you mentioned replacing your wiring the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B is a great starting point. You will need to add additional 20 gauge wire to run the reverse line circuit back to the tail lights. You will need the Tow Ready...

  • Can LED Clearance Light on Trailer be Used as Turn Signals
    Thank you for your purchase of the LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL81RB from etrailer, and while there are clearance lights that can blink along with turn signals, unfortunately 2-wire lights like this one are unable to do so. What you will need instead are 3-wire clearance lights designed to also work as turn signals, and there are both red and amber surface-mounted lights that are available. - Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light with Turn...

  • Rectangle LED Clearance Light with Both Red and Amber Lenses
    I do have an option for you but the Miro-Flex LED Trailer Side Marker Light and Mid-Ship Turn Signal is not offered with a red lens, only amber part # MCL48AB and clear part # MCL48CAB. For a similar clearance light has turn signal capabilities I recommend the Peterson Piranha LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light w/ Supplemental Turn part # M353R which if you wanted to use this instead is also offered in amber as part # M353A.

  • Can 2-Wire Marker Lights be Used for Clearance & Turn Signals
    There is an option for lights that function as clearance and turn signal lights, but 2-wire clearance lights do not have that capability. Instead, you'd need the following 3-wire lights, which you can get in red or amber: - Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353R - Amber: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353A

I also tried locating replacement LED bulbs that would work with your Peterson lights but did not find any that seemed to work. I recommend going with the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Light # M353R for your 124-R and the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Light # M353A...

The Red Piranha LED # M353R, and the Amber Piranha LED # M353A both measure 1-9/16 inches tall, 6 inches long, and 2 inches wide. The mounting holes measure 4-3/4 inches center-on-center. A more economic option is offered by Optronics. Rectangular LED - Red # MCL76RB, and Rectangular LED - Amber # MCL76AB. These LED lights have mounting holes which are 4-13/16 inches center-on-center (which is very similar),...

  • Troubleshooting Single Wire Trailer Marker Lights Only Running On Turn Signals and Brake Lights
    It sounds like you have some marker lights like the Optronics # MCL44AB1 which was only designed to activate when the running lights are switched on. If you also want the lights to illuminate with turn signals and brakes you would want the Peterson # M353A which has 3 wires. One ground and one for running lights and the 3rd wire for the turn/brake light. The single wire light you have uses the mounting hardware to ground to the trailer chassis. This would be connected to the running lights...

  • Recommended Red and Amber Clearance Lights With Turn Signal Wiring
    I recommend using the Peterson Piranha in Amber # M353A or Red # M353R. These lights are 6" long and 2" tall with 6 LED's for long life and lower power draw.

I have a solution for you but this light can not be used for that purpose. You will want the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal - 6 Diodes - Amber Lens item # M353A. The LED trailer light functions as a clearance and side marker...

  • Is Trailer Clearance Lamp for MC76AB Available With Red Lens
    Optronics used to offer the # MC76AB lamp with a red lens but it's been discontinued and is no longer available. We do offer a similar replacement, part # M353R that's the same 6 x 2 inch size as the # MC76AB and also has very similar mounting hole spacing of 4-3/4 inches so it would be a good replacement for the original. It's also available with an amber lens as part # M353A.
