P2-Rated Lights
A P2-rated light produces a 45-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be seen straight on, but it cannot be seen clearly from the side. So this type of light can be used as either a side marker light or a clearance light, but it cannot function as both. If you need both functions, then you must install 2 separate lights on your trailer - one as a front or rear clearance light and one as a side marker light.

How to order marker tail light lenses for my trailer. When they arrived I discovered I had ordered the wrong one I called and they were very helpful in returning them. And help me find the right ones. Received them in a timely matter. They were the right size and easy to install.

Easy swap, works exactly like the original. I only wish it came with the original rubberized seal to prevent water infiltration.

The lights are easy to install. My only complaint would be that the lenses are difficult to remove and can crack.

These 1 wire self-grounding lights from Optronics are exactly what I was needed to match up with original lights on my enclosed car trailer. These lights were a breeze to install, the led's are bright and I am very happy with this product and Etrailer !!!!

The lights are still going strong and doing perfectly fine !!

I have some pictures for you to share at etrailer so you can see where all of my lights went to. Just to let you know and at the present time I'm working up another order for another 8 lights and that will be a total of 56 lights that I have put on the truck. Thanks for the great service.

These were very easy to install. They look great lit up. Lots of clear, obvious light. They have been very reliable. Good product! I think, if I remember correctly, that I popped the lens off and pulled out the ground wire and made a ground connection back to the ground circuit inside my trailer. It was a few extra steps but I never have to worry about a direct ground to the trailer going bad (which plagued my old trailer light setup).

Outstanding product. Very easy to mount. No more worries if my trailer lights are going to light at the beginning of Spring. No more stocking up of light bulbs. Now hook up and roll.

Placed my order on a Sunday when I discovered I had a few marker lights not working on the trailer. We were to leave on the following Friday for a trip to Colorado from Georgia so I had a 2 day rush shipment. I was very surprised when I got an email later that day that said my lights had been packaged and shipped and had the tracking number. I received the parts on Tuesday 2 days later just as expected. Very pleased with the parts and the transaction. Highly recommend E Trailer!

I bought both this and the red colored lights. Product is very easy to install. It serves its purpose by being bright enough as a marker/clearance light without being obnoxiously bright. My only negative comment is the packaging. I bought 4 lights and it was packaged with a crumpled packaging paper on the bottom of the box and all 4 lights was just placed on top of it. I think the lights should have been individually wrapped as there were some light scratches on all the lights when I opened the box. Not really a concern of mine as nobody will ever see the scratch unless looked on very, very closely, but people with major OCD might not like it at all.
Comments
Still works.. Only thing I forgot to mention in my 1st review. The entire light assembly is not sealed. The led circuit board is sealed with some sort of hot glueclear silicone but not the whole assembly. I decided to seal the entire assembly with clear silicone can be bought at any hardware store to prevent the inside of the reflector housing from becoming discolored.

Everything arrived in perfect order and exactly as I was hoping for. I will get these parts installed on our horse trailer soon and will attach pictures once completed. I also will be ordering a few more items for my new pop up once I get it home and see exactly what it needs. Looking forward to fixing that up as well.

I bought these to replace the incandescent lights that were on my trailer. It matched my old ones perfectly maybe they were the same company i am not too sure. These are bright at night the color is crisp compared to the old lights. The lens has no rubber seal nor is it one whole piece. The leds themselves are covered in some sort of clear epoxy to make it waterproof. There are 6 leds in the middle i wish they had some pointing to the side so it gives a brighter glow but this style is not bad. Good thing about leds is the long life they have so there is one less thing to worry about. Especially towing late night to the race track the people behind me can see me a good distance away with how bright these are compared to the old lights.

Change over from regular lighting system to LED pretty simple. Note, make sure you order the correct wiring system (1 or 2 wire). The 1 wire system can be utilized but will need some adjustments. Front facing markers are so bright you may find it blinding especially when backing up at night.

Excellent, LEDS and wiring are sealed from moisture, wire can be pulled back and terminated inside the lens cover, the cover is replaceable. We elected to replace all the lighting in/on our 1987 NOMAD RV trailer with LED.

The fit was perfect. The color was a perfect match and the LED lights are very bright. The installation only took a couple of minutes.

Good fit, east install. This is a good quality light. Finally, after 15 years of owning this trailer, ALL my clearance lights WORK! LED's provide good visibility and should last much longer than incandescent bulbs.

Ask the Experts about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- Can Single Wire Clearance Light Be installed To Replace 2-Wire Light On Travel TrailerIf a trailer clearance light like part # MCL44AB1 is used, the one wire is the power wire for the light and the light will be grounded through the mounting hardware. If you want to use the ground wire that you have on your trailer you can install part # MCL44AB. This has a 2-wire install, where one is for the power and the second wire is for the ground.
view full answer... - Availability of Incandescent Version of Optronics # MCL44AB1 LED Trailer Clearance/Side Marker LampThe incandescent version of the # MCL44AB1 lamp you mentioned is part # MC44AB. The lamp measures 4 by 1-1/2 inches and mounts on 3 inch centers. The lamp is a two wire design, one wire for power, the other for ground. This differs a bit from the LED version that grounds through its mounting hardware.
view full answer... - Difference Between 1 and 2 Wire Trailer Clearance LightsIf where you plan to mount the clearance lights is metal that touches the trailer frame then a 1 wire clearance light would work just fine. The difference between the 1 wire and 2 wire lights is that the 1 wire lights ground through their mounting hardware and the 2 wire lights have to be run to a metal surface of the trailer that touches the frame or to the main ground of the trailer.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Wiring Connection for Replacement LED Clearance LightsClearance lights function from the running light circuit (that also powers your tail lights) and since this is typically just a 2-wire hookup the extra wires on your lights could simply be there to allow multiple clearance lights to be wired together. Very often in trailer wiring a white wire serves as ground; based on your photo that would make the green wire the + wire for the running light circuit. You can simply test the light wires on the trailer while you have 12V power connected...

- Wiring Single Wire Trailer Clearance Lights The single wire clearance lights like # MCL44AB1 will be grounded through the mounting. You can either mount these to the frame of the trailer or structural components connected to the frame of the trailer. The siding or skin of the trailer is not likely to be a good enough ground. You can run a common ground wire to the series of lights used if there is not a good connection between them. I've attached some videos and articles to assist.
view full answer... - Replacing 2 Wire Marker Lights With Single Wire Marker LightsOn lights similar to the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB1 that will only have 1 wire pigtail this is the positive power wire. The light requires mounting to a grounded metal surface that will provide you the ground connection. If you are not able to attach it to a grounded metal surface you can also use a jumper Wire # DW02359-1 with a Ring Terminal # DW05738-1 to attach to your existing wiring or a nearby grounded surface. There are some lights similar...
view full answer... - Installing Optronics LED Trailer Clearance Lights # MCL44RBThe Optronics LED Trailer Clearance Lights # MCL44RB that you will be installing on your trailer features a power and ground wire. The black wire coming from the assembly is for power and the white wire is for ground, which will just need to be attached to a clean, bare metal surface on the trailer. It's possible that the two black wires coming from your existing/old assemblies could be used for either ground or power, but I can't be sure of this. When installing the new assemblies...

view full answer... - Comparing How To Wire Single Wire and Two Wire LED Lights In Box Truck2 wire LED lights and single wire LED lights will get wired pretty similarly. On a single wire light like the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light w/ Reflex Reflector - 6 Diodes - Amber Lens # MCL44AB1 you were looking at the wire is for power, and the light is grounded through the mounting hardware. On a 2 wire LED light like the 60" LED Lights you have the white wire will get grounded to your box truck, and the other wire is the power wire. You will need to...
view full answer... - Can Power Wire of the Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance Light be Routed Through Angled Base HoleIf you wanted to route the power wire of the # MCL44AB1 through the angled hole on the back of the base of the light you certainly could, but you are going to have to slightly enlarge the hole as the wire will be just barely too thick.

- Is the Wiring Accessible Behind the Lens of Optronics Clearance light # MCL22AB1On trailer light # MCL44AB1, beneath the lens where the power wire attaches to the circuitry is sealed. What you would need to do is push the power wire in through the hole in the back, make the cuts and splices needed and push it back through the hole. I made a short video showing you the inside of the light. The same thing applies to the red version of this light.

- Troubleshooting Side Maker Lights Not Working When Going From 2-Wire Lights To 1-Wire ConnectionsIt sounds like when you connected your single wire marker light like the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB1, your ground connection on that side was removed. This would cause all the other lights on that circuit to no longer work. The single wire style marker lights ground themselves when through the mounting hardware. If your mounting hardware is not grounded to the frame and the frame back to the trailer connector you will not have a complete circuit....
view full answer... - One Wire Clearance and Side Marker Light Options to Replace Lights on Horton Hauler TrailerWe have quite a few different options for trailer clearance lights with one wire and that will ground through the mounting hardware. These lights come in various sizes and shapes. The best replacement for your trailer will depend on the size light you are wanting to replace. For a small LED clearance light that is a stud-mount, you can use the Optronics Sealed Mini Rectangular LED Stud Mount Trailer Clearance Light. For an amber light you will want # MCL95AB and for a red light # MCL95RB....
view full answer... - Recommendation for Sealed Clearance Lights to Replace Corroded Assemblies on Trailer To replace your existing Optronics # MCL44RB and # MCL44AB1 Clearance Lights with sealed alternatives, I recommend taking a look at the Optronics Sealed LED Trailer Clearance Light - Amber # MCL49AB and Red # MCL49RB. These feature a bit of a different shape than the standard rectangle of your existing assemblies, but they do have very similar dimensions, along with the same 3 inch mounting hole measurement. The lights themselves measure 3-7/8 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1 inch deep....

- How Do I Wire A 2 Wire Light In Place Of A Single Wire Light On My Camper?The lighting on your 1987 camper van used a single power wire input and would ground the lamp through the lights mounting bracket. This is how the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB1 would connect. The Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB uses a 2 wire connection similar to the wiring on your new lights. You will attach the red power input wire on your new lights to the red wire on your camper van. The white wire will need...
