Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The circuit board is sealed, which means that water will not damage the diodes or circuit board.
PC-Rated Lights
A PC-rated light produces a 90-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 180 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be clearly seen when you are standing directly in front of the light, as well as when you are standing on either side of the light. When properly installed, this type of light can function as both a front clearance light and a side marker light or as a rear clearance light and a side marker light.

These were designed as a clearance light application and at a great price. I bought them to use as turn signal lamps on my RZR. They are high quality and extremely bright when lit, so they work great for both applications. These guys have great parts at a great price and quick shipping. I would recommend them to anyone needing trailer/boat/lighting. Thanks guys. 185171

John, Are these lights clearly visible during the day time? I bought some that look similar but are not bright enough to be seen. Im also using them for turn signals on my RZR.

Lowell C. These lights are bright enough to be seen during daylight. I use them when I am with a group to signal our next direction or 4 way as intent to slow. Everyone behind me have been able to see them even in high dust situation.

Still loving it. I installed them as turn signals on my 12 RZR. Every time I go out riding they are utilized and many have made comments on how well they look and can be seen.

Just installed recently, Lights mount nicely in a 3/4" hole. Wiring harness about 8 inches. Just as bright or brighter than standard size clearance light. They work and look great. I used them on the front of fender step mounted on a 45 angle . Not sure if they meet "reflector" requirements for corner light but works great as indicator to on-coming traffic (and width marker when looking in mirror) and side marker light. As far as reliability or longevity, don't know, but they appear to be well constructed and sealed lights. 94576
Comments
So far theyve still been working well, they are very bright and while towing at night, they light up the yellow line on the highway nicely so I know exactly where my fender is and oncoming traffic can see. I added some yellow reflector tape next to the light so that it meets reflectivity requirements, but as a light, its much smaller, looks cleaner, and less prone to damage than a regular clearnace light

I bought 6 of these lights to put on my jet ski trailer. 4 amber and 2 red. And they are very bright. I highly suggest putting these lights onto your fenders. I put an amber and a red one on each fender in their appropriate locations of course. It helps when backing up into small dimly lit spaces at night...like a driveway The red ones reflect off of whatever you are backing towards...and the amber ones give you an idea how close you are to walls or trees in the side mirrors. Just be cautious when you put them in. Make sure that in your mind everything is good to go (like, say, the wiring), and you do not need to pull it back out. If you push it in all the way...good luck getting it out. The grommet mushrooms out at the bottom basically locking it in place. If there was a warning about this on this site and I missed it...my bad. I just made sure I left them all loose until I was done, made sure the wires in the trailer (especially the ground wire) were not getting stretched or pinched, as my trailer is old, and then pressed them all in by hand. I made the mistake of pressing one into my passenger fender...just to see how it looked. This was before I started wiring anything. At this point I was drilling the 3/4" holes...which by the way is very time consuming. I spent a few minutes trying to remove it without damaging the wires. No luck. Not even a little did it want to budge. And I was able to get at it from the top and bottom. Thank goodness this didn't happen with the holes I put into the sides of the trailer because I think I may have had to destroy that light just to get it out and wire it up, which would have sucked because I think that would have pissed me off to the point of not even wanting to use the lights anymore and I would have picked something else out. And that would have been a shame because these lights put out an incredible amount of light. When you put them in the first time, they give off a sort of weird glow. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first. If you manually adjust the lights to the proper DOT code or whatever, they look good. But, if you rotate them so that they are horizontal instead of vertical, they put out a ton of light towards the street. What I'm saying is...if you want to change it up, you can turn them all horizontal in a matter of seconds, and be lighting up the road...literally...just like the neon vehicle underbody kits of the 90's. Admit it. You thought they were cool too. Now, you can sort of have that, except it's legal. I went overkill on my small trailer. At least I thought I did. Now, after using it at night, I am more than satisfied. What a huge difference these tiny lights make. A++++SELLER. WOULD BUY AGAIN. ASSET TO ETRAILER.COM 147443
Comments
What a great idea. Follow up with customers to get feedback. That way you can tell if the products are still good or if they have limited lifespans. You get to see if people are still happy and get them thinking about your company again if theyre in the market for more trailer stuff.To answer your question, I do not have them anymore. I sold all of my gear, but do know they are still working. I really liked those small lights. They put out an incredible amount of light and were easy to install once I drilled holes into my old trailer.

These little lights are bright! And they couldn't be easier to install. Like all LED's, they need good power, so make sure all of your connections are solid. I didn't do that at first, and they didn't light up. After I improved my connections, they work great. 719648

I purchased MCL11AKB marker lights, I was hoping for some bright lights that would be seen from a distance, wow the lights are real bright and can be seen a long ways away!! I installed these markers on our bull dozer, for night time use, so the machine can be seen from the side and can tell what direction it is facing, the Amber and red are easy to see from a long distance, great product, we are going to order these for all are night machines, thanks etrail er, great product!!! 717996

Nice bright lights. I used for corner and fender marker lights on my car trailer. The grommet that comes with these is really stiff and is install once, then impossible to remove without damaging it. I welded short lengths of 1/2" pipe on my trailer where I installed these, ground a little plastic ridge off the OD of the lights and slid them into the pipe just leaving the tip of the light exposed. 683774

- Isolating Turn Signal and Running Light for Small LED Side Marker and SignalThe Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 is not compatible with LED lights.

- What Size Hole is the Uni-Lite LED Side Marker Light # MCL11AKB Designed to Install InThe Sealed, Glolight Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light # MCL11AKB is designed to fit an 11/16 inch diameter hole. While this light is considered submersible, it is not designed to provide a watertight seal when installed though. You would have to use a watertight sealant between the grommet and the hole it would get installed into, as well as between the light and the grommet. Submersible means that the light itself can be submerged underwater and it won't become damaged....
