Features to know about

Brighter, Longer-Lasting Light in a Small Package: Efficient 2-Diode LED Design

This 3/4" round Uni-Lite uses two amber LEDs that shine brighter and last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. It’s built for low power draw—just 0.03 amps at 12.8V—so you get strong, clear light without stressing your electrical system. The LEDs are sealed inside a clear polycarbonate lens and housing for durability you can count on, with no fragile filaments or bulbs to replace.

Keeping Water Out: Fully Sealed and Submersible Construction

Water and electronics don’t mix, but this light doesn’t worry about that. Its circuit board is completely sealed inside the housing, making the entire unit waterproof and submersible. Whether it’s spray from the road or full submersion at the ramp, moisture won’t damage the LEDs or corrode the wiring. It’s built to handle wet conditions without missing a beat.

Better Visibility from Every Angle: PC-Rated 180-Degree Coverage

Good visibility means better safety, especially in low light. This PC-rated light spreads illumination 90 degrees to either side of its centerline, giving you a full 180-degree beam pattern. Properly mounted, it doubles as both a clearance light and a side marker light so others can see you straight on or from the side.

Simple Mounting in Tight Spots: Compact Recessed Design with Grommet

When space is limited, this little light fits right in. At just 3/4" in diameter and 7/8" deep, it mounts flush using the included black PVC grommet. Installation only needs an 11/16" hole, and the two-wire pigtail—black for power, white for ground—makes wiring straightforward. The wire leads are 7-1/2" long and use 18-gauge wire for a clean, reliable connection.

Built to Last: Durable Materials and LED Lifetime Warranty

The polycarbonate lens and housing resist impact and weathering, keeping the light clear and intact over time. Designed for 12V DC systems and backed by a lifetime warranty on the LEDs, it’s a tough little unit that keeps shining year after year without extra maintenance.

Neat find for accent trailer marker lighting



by:

I have ordered from Etrailer for several years, had a small problem on this order. They rectified the issue easily and quickly. Highly recommend Etrailer and their customer service team.



by:

These little beauties are awesome! I am using them for small surface mounted turn signals for a "show" motor scooter... Theses little lights are bright and extremely compact which I love! The quality is actually much higher than I anticipated which was a great surprise I almost figured these could've been "throw away every year"'type of lights. But they most definitely are not! Great product for my application for sure



by:

Easy to install. I used them for marker lights on my boat trailer. LEDs are very bright with very low power requirements. I would buy again.



by:

My customer requested an extended light to keep track of battery voltage. I interfaced the Uni-Lite LED to our LCD-HV Low Battery Alarm and when the voltage dropped at the set point the light came on this was a great warning of low voltage. The light was extra bright and can be seen from a good distant. Very happy with the results of brightness and ease of connections.



by:

I’m really happy with these lights. Super bright and straight forward installation. 3/4 inch hole with a hole saw and insert the grommets and lights.



by:

The lights are easily fitted when drilling the proper size hole. Just push, and it'll snap. They illuminate a fair and enough amount of light for their small size! I recommend these lights to be installed as marker lights.



by:

I have purchased several items from etrailer and recommend all of them and the folks at etrailer.
Items purchased by part #: 9653P; BK-70BB; 2118-605-04; 98174LED; PK12706; MCL11AKB; H20046.

Shipped well packaged. All items are accurately described and are fully functional. etrailer videos are a big help and their staff is knowledgeable!



by:

I installed these lights on my old enclosed trailer because most of my old lights were broken after many years.
Very bright!
I did drill holes in my trailer because my old lights were big rectangular ones.
These and the led taillights I got really make my trailer much more visible.



by:

The LED lights I purchased a year ago are still functioning well. I used these small clear amber lights as marker/clearance lights around my trailer I pull with my motorcycle. Anyone looking to make your trailer highly visible on the road should have these. Lights are easy to install and wire in.



by:

Great lights! Nice and bright. Had them on the truck for a year now and no issues.



by:

Perfectly replaced existing lights.



by:

Awesome product! Very bright and easy i nstallation!



by:

Great service. Product was just as expected. Install looks excellent on the front of my truck.

Do these lights match the Ford 150 Orange running lights? Im looking to do the same thing with the lights like you did. Thanks for any input

Yes, these do match the OE orange marker lights. The color is just about identical in my opinion. I was going for a very clean look and these worked great. I have a few additional pics on the following forum if you are interested.



by:

Nice lights fast shipping excellent ser vice



by:

I love these lights. They compliment the other leds on my truck and camper. I installed these on the lower front air dam.



by:

Good side marker very bright!



by:

The lights I ordered are very bright and seem to be well assembled. I will be continuing to use etrailer for my lights



by:

Great lights very bright, really like the size and shape of these lights and the fact that they are clear lenses and they match my complete clear trailer light set up



by:

Awesome little light! Very bright! Fits snug in a 3/4" hole. These worked perfectly for my running light project on the air dam. Ordered these on a Sunday, they were at my door on Thursday. Excellent customer service Etrailer! (Side note, the lights behind the grill are 4" round, not the 3/4")



by:

I have purchased lights from etrailer several times and the service and quality have been great. I have purchased lights for my truck and also have used there submersible lights for my boat trailer.
lights have been in service for over a year and still bright as the first day I installed them.



by:

Shipping was slow, but I can't complain much considering it was free!

I chopped the fenders on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler, which involved removing the side marker lights. I installed a pair of these DOT approved lights to meet inspection requirements.

As for the lights, they are well-constructed and very bright. Installation was difficult; even after drilling and deburring a 11/16" hole, the grommet barely fit in. I had to put a small amount of grease on the light's lateral surfaces before the light would slide into the grommets.

Overall, I am very pleased with the product. Poison Spyder sells an inferior product at several times the price; I am glad I found these here!



by:

Very well built, sturdy and totally sealed against moisture. I installed these into the top of my Haulmark enclosed trailer to act as clearance lights. Installation was a breeze, I just drilled a 3/4" hole with a step bit, wired all five lights together and tied it into the running lights of the trailer's harness. I put the ground against the steel frame. I went a step further and put a bead of clear marine grade silicone around the light to ensure no moisture makes it inside the trailer despite these being a tight fit. As you can see from the pictures, installation is clean and they're very bright, both day and night! I put one on either end, 6" from the sides and the three middles ones are spaced 10" apart. Similar to the clearance lights on a truck, I didn't use a template, just winged it.



by:

Great little running light puck! Easy to install and very bright at night and is even very visible in daylight. Only about an inch in diameter on the outside, you wouldn't think it was much larger from the amount of light they provide.

Awesome, bright lights. They really blend in well in daylight but stand out at night.

I have finally finished the install of the great products that I’ve purchased from Etrailer. Curt 24K 5th wheel hitch, the lube discs, the front receiver hitch tube, the Factory 7-way connector and 7 -way extension (I have 3 7-way plugs on my truck) and the countless number of LED lights. The service is amazing and the customer service I received was fabulous. I really like these folks as they were vary knowledgeable about what I was after and pointed me in the right direction to accomplish my end goal. Thanks to everyone at Etrailer. I couldn’t have done it all without you.

Everything I’ve done to my truck with multiple products from Etrailer has just been perfect. All working and performing as expected. Couldn’t have ask for more reliable products than those I’ve installed.

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights

  • Replacement Front Marker Light for 195 R-Pod
    It is difficult to say exactly based on that picture. It looks like the light has some sort of gold paint over it. The # MCL11CAKB doesn't have the same round top to it that your current light has but it would work. A better option would probably be the # MCL10AKB. This is closer in design and also has an amber lens. Both of them have a 3/4" diameter, both would make a good replacement.

  • Wiring for Clearance and Turn Signal Functions with Clear Lens 2 Wire LED Light
    The GloLight Uni-Lite LED Clearance or Side Marker Light with Grommet - Turn - Round - Amber Lens # MCL121AK9PVG will work as both a clearance light as well as a turn signal. The Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Clear Lens - Amber # MCL11CAKB you pointed out is the closest to that light with the dual function in a clear lens. We unfortunately do not have the 3 wire light with the clear lens you are seeking. To get the features you are...

    I just went out to the warehouse and took a look at the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Clear Lens - Amber item # MCL11CAKB. It uses 18 gauge wire and the panel thickness is 5/8".

  • Can a Dimmer be Put on Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light # MCL11CAKB
    LED lights use such little power, 0.047 amps for # MCL11CAKB, that it might be difficult to be able to put a dimmer of any kind on it. If you can find a dimmer that works at the milliamp level then it could work. This light can be used as a clearance light, as can the red version # MCL11RKB but they are not DOT approved as trailer brake lights.

  • Wiring Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Lights as Turn Signals Only on a Trailer
    The only issue you are going to have with using the Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light # MCL11CAKB is that on a trailer, the brake lights and turn signals are combined on the same circuit. So when you step on the brakes these lights will light up as well. In order to prevent that from happening you will need to use a special converter to separate out the brake light and turn signals. You would split off the turn signal and brake wire to go to each new light. You would attach...

  • Clearance Light with Turning Signal Function for Running Boards
    I do have a solution for you but there is no way to wire the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet # MCL11CAKB so that it stays on with your clearance lights but then also acts as a turn signal when your headlights are on. You can connect it to both functions and use a single park diode like part # RM-690 but you would only see the turn signal when your headlights are off. For your application the only option we have available is the GloLight Uni-Lite LED Clearance or...

  • Troubleshooting Optronics Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light Not Coming On with Aux Switch
    I recommend double checking your wiring for the lights. A load resistor will not be needed since the # MCL11CAKB lights are not blinking. A load resistor is designed for use when an LED is hyperflashing when used as a turn signal. You will want to run a wire from the positive terminal on the vehicle battery to the auxiliary switch, then from the switch to the first light, from the first light to the second lights, so on and so forth. The easiest way to connect all of the lights to a power...

  • Availability of LED Back-Up Lamp for 2-1/2 Inch Rough Opening
    If you can very slightly enlarge the hole so it's 2-5/16 inches in diameter, I have a grommet mount lamp that will work great for you. The # UCL50CB LED lamp would use the # A54GB grommet and the # A46PB wiring pigtail. The lamp isn't considered a back-up lamp, but unless the vehicle in question is a commercial vehicle that's subject to DOT inspections, it'll work great for you.

  • Availability of a Small Round Trailer Clearance Light with a Clear Lens and Amber Light
    We do have a light that is a very close match to # MCL11AKB except with a clear lens and amber light. Take a look at the Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light, # MCL11CAKB. This light is just a little larger than the one you referenced but does have a clear lens and amber light.

  • Will Uni-Lite Mini LED Light Work On Motorcycle As Turn Signal
    You should have no problem using the Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light, part # MCL11CAKB, on your motorcycle. You will need to locate the wire that leads to your existing turn signals. Then make sure you attach the white wire to a bare metal surface for the ground. All you need to do then is attach the black wire to the power wire that is going to your existing turn signals and you should be ready to go. I have attached a product review video for this light you can check...

  • Clear Submersible LED Trailer Light Recommendation
    For a similar LED light as the CIPA EVO light part # CM93236 that you referenced that is submersible and would be great for a boat trailer I would recommend the Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker/Clearance Light w/ Grommet part # MCL11CAKB. This is flush mount light. Another option that is a surface mount would be the Sealed, Mini LED Marker, Clearance or Identification Light # MCL13CR2B. The # CM93236 is designed to fit into a vehicle bulb socket, so not only would it not be submersible it...

  • Lumens Rating of LED Bullet Utility Light with Grommet
    I reached out to Command about the LED Bullet Utility Light with Grommet part # 328-003-183CW but they were not able to provide a lumen rating. However, we do have the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet part # MCL11CAKB which I do have a lumen rating for of 35. The Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet has two diodes so it will be twice as bright as the Command about the LED Bullet Utility Light with Grommet.

  • Wiring Optronics Uni-Lite Clearance Lights on a Motorcycle for Additional Turn Signals
    You can tap the power wire from the Uni-Lite, # MCL11CAKB, to the factory turn signal wire but you will still need to ground the light as well. You can try using an existing ground for another light but in the event that does not work you will need to ground the light to the metal frame.
