Features to know about

Brighter, Longer-Lasting, and Efficient: LED Clearance or Side Marker Light

Upgrading to LEDs makes a clear difference in visibility and dependability. This 2" round red light uses three white LEDs behind a red lens to deliver strong, even illumination while drawing only 0.06 amps at 12.8V. It’s far more efficient than old incandescent bulbs and lasts up to 50 times longer, so you won’t be swapping out burnt filaments or dealing with dim lights again. The LEDs are built into a durable polycarbonate housing and carry a lifetime warranty.

Built for Wet Conditions: Sonically Sealed and Submersible Design

Water can wreak havoc on trailer lights, but this unit is sealed tight to keep moisture out. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together, creating a single waterproof piece that’s fully submersible. That means no water intrusion to corrode the circuit board or kill your LEDs. Whether it’s launching at the ramp or towing through heavy rain, the light stays protected and reliable.

Simple, Clean Installation: Standard Plug and Flush Mount Fit

Mounting and wiring are straightforward thanks to the industry-standard 2-prong plug connection (A46PB or A86PB sold separately) and flush-mount setup with grommet (A54GB sold separately). It fits neatly into place without sticking out or requiring special hardware. Once mounted, it blends cleanly with the surface and stays put even through vibration and rough use.

Reliable Coverage Where You Need It: P2-Rated Beam Pattern

When properly mounted, this P2-rated light functions as either a clearance light or a side marker light, giving you flexibility for your lighting setup. The beam spreads 45 degrees to each side of the centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage—bright enough to be seen directly from behind or head-on. That kind of visibility helps keep your trailer noticeable in traffic or low light conditions.

Proven Fit Replacement: Cross-Compatible With Major Brands

No guessing on fitment—this Optronics light matches several common models including Uni-Bond #LED2000-4R, Truck Lite #30250R, Grote #47112, Peterson #M164R, and Maxxima #M30250R. That makes it an exact-fit LED upgrade for many existing setups without extra drilling or rewiring.

I did buy new grommets with these as well.


Bright and should last a lifetime!



by:

Have not yet had time to install the LED lighting items I recently purchased to refurbish my car trailer.
I will say however that the customer service I experienced from etrailer was bar none the best I've ever encountered.
Items received were correct and expertly packaged as well.
Thank you for the great experience!



by:

Great product. Not only do these replacement marker lights give my auto trailer an updated, or modern look they also greatly enhance its visability to others on the road. This is a huge safety improvement. They were also a snap to install, approximately 2 minutes each including clean up of the wiring connectors. I love them.



by:

Good and bright



by:

Purchased LED lights to re-wire a 12-year old trailer. etrailer had all the lights/gaskets needed. Perfect fit to the original OEM lights.



by:

The Optronics LED Trailer side marker light was the exact replacement piece that I needed for my snowmobile trailer. I was pleased with the ordering process and the price was very reasonable. I have used this site for many previous orders and I will continue to recommend it.



by:

good bright lighting



by:

I used these lenses for the lights on the signal arm on a scale railroad signal for our kids playroom.



by:

I broke a rear side marker light on my utility trailer. The etrailer LED 2in replacement matched the original and the R&R took less than 5 minutes. Ordering and shipment services were accurate and efficient; price including S&H was within reason for this type of light assembly.

  • What Happens if LED Light is Wired Backwards
    LED lights are diodes so if you were to wire them backwards on accident they just wouldn't light up. There would be no damage at all.

  • Troubleshooting Backup Camera Wiring Where Power Wire is Good But Camera Still Does Not Work
    Sounds like the issue is the ground circuit for the backup camera you have on your RV. The power wire seems to be working just fine and connected properly so that would leave the ground as the most likely issue. Make sure the ground wire you are using for the camera is connected solidly and if that doesn't work try running a jumper wire from the wire to a metal portion of the trailer frame.

  • Is the optronics LED Trailer Clearance Light MCL55RB a Reflector
    Hey Rex, the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL55RB is not a reflector unfortunately. If you needed a reflector you'd want to use the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector # MCL0040RBB. This light is a bit wider than # MCL55RB but it does have that built in reflector. This light also does not have the industry standard two prong plug but it can easily be wired into any 12v system with its two wire configuration. If there is anything...

    I have a couple options for you as we do not have a box like the Buyers Products Tail Light Mounting Box # 337LB383SL with a opening on the side for the Peterson LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light # PE57PR.

  • Why Would Trailer Wiring Ground Circuit Get Hot
    If ground wire is getting hot it's shorting out to a 12 volt power source. I'd check to see where it's wired to see if it's either touching an open circuit or if it's ran straight to the frame you may have a circuit shorting to the trailer frame.

  • Recessed Clearance Lights and Wiring For a Dump Trunk Bump Bed
    It sounds like you have three of the Optronics 2-1/2" LED Clearance Lights # MCL59RB held in place with the Rubber Grommet # A57GB and two of the Optronics 2" LED Trailer Clearance Lights # MCL55RB with the 2" Grommet # A54GB. If this is what you have all the lights use the 2-Wire Pigtail # A86PB and can be wired in using whatever length of wire is needed. We do have the Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 sold per foot that you can break into 2 wire strips for each side and connect using Butt Connectors...

  • Will the Miro-Flex, 2 Inch Round, LED Trailer Light, # MCL50RB, Fit an Enclosed Snowmobile Trailer
    If adding the Optronics light, # MCL50RB, you will need about 2 inches of space behind your existing light for it to fit. The reason is the Optronics light is deeper including the pigtail mounting surface and the pigtail, # A86PB. If you have at least 2 inches of clearance, then this light will fit in your existing 2 inch diameter hole with grommet # A54GB. Light # MCL55RB is not quite as deep at 1 inch overall, so that is another option for you.

  • 2 inch and 4 inch Diameter Recess Mount LED Clearance Light Recommedation
    For the 2 inch light you would want the part # MCL55RB with the grommet part # A54GB and pigtail part # A46PB. For 4 inch we have the part # STL55RB. You would need the grommet part # A45GB and the same pigtail # A54GB. I wish we had a 3 inch option, but you may be able to enlarge the 3 inch holes to match the 4 inch ones.
