When you want to make sure your trailer is easy to see day or night, this 4-1/8" x 2" Peterson oblong light gets the job done. It uses two 194 incandescent bulbs under a red snap-on acrylic lens to shine bright and clear. Rated for 12V systems and drawing only 0.25 amps, it works as both a clearance and side marker light when properly mounted. The PC rating means it spreads light across a full 180 degrees, giving clear visibility from the front and sides for improved safety on the road.
This light doesn’t cut corners on bulb quality. The pair of premium 194/193 bulbs are designed for up to 15,000 hours of illumination—plenty of time before you’ll need replacements. That long life means less time spent dealing with burned-out bulbs and more time focusing on towing safely and confidently.
Installing this light is easy thanks to its surface-mount design. It attaches flat against the trailer surface using two mounting holes spaced 3" apart (center to center). Only a small wiring hole is needed since the light grounds through its single-wire connection and mounting hardware. Whether you’re replacing old lights or adding new ones, this design keeps installation straightforward and clean.
Durability matters when your gear faces the elements. The snap-on red acrylic lens protects the bulbs while letting the light shine bright without distortion. It’s DOT compliant and built to handle regular road use, giving you a dependable light that holds up trip after trip.
This Peterson light lines up with multiple well-known part numbers—Truck-Lite #1259, Grote #45262, Optronics #MC66RB, and Primatronics #PT2601R—so you can count on it as an exact replacement without having to drill new holes or rewire your setup. It’s a straightforward swap that restores proper lighting fast.
