Features to know about

Reliable Lighting for Everyday Towing: Bright 4-1/4" Red Tail Light

This 4-1/4" round Peterson tail light handles stop, turn, and tail functions in one sealed unit. The red lens sits over an incandescent bulb rated for up to 15,000 hours of use, giving you dependable light for the long haul. It’s built for 12V DC systems and keeps your trailer visible and compliant with DOT standards, so you stay safe and legal wherever you go.

Built to Handle the Elements: Sealed Against Water and Dust

Road spray and rain don’t bother this light. The tongue-and-groove lens seal locks out water and dust to protect the internals, while the durable polycarbonate housing keeps everything inside secure. Whether you’re hauling down wet highways or backing into a boat ramp, its weatherproof design helps prevent corrosion and premature failure.

Clean, Recessed Mount Look: Grommet Installation That Fits Tight

Designed for recessed mounting, this light installs with the included grommet that holds it firmly in place by compression—even in 1/8" thick diamond plate. It needs a 4-1/2" cutout and sits flush for a clean finish that won’t snag or get in the way. The result is a solid fit that looks professional and stays put through vibration and rough roads.

Straightforward Wiring: 3-Wire Plug Ready for 12V Systems

Wiring is simple thanks to the included 3-wire plug. White is ground, black powers the tail light, and red runs the turn signal. Once connected, you’re set with a stop, turn, and tail circuit that’s quick to hook up and easy to troubleshoot later if needed—no extra adapters required.

Long Service Life from a Proven Design: Wedge-Base Socket Protection

Inside, the wedge-base socket keeps the bulb firmly seated to resist vibration and extend life. That small detail helps prevent flickering or early burnout, so you get steady illumination mile after mile without needing frequent replacements.

Exactly what I expected. Came with an extra lead in case I needed to replace the old wiring on the trailer. Easy to install.
by:
The trailer lights were exactly as described and doing great!! Will definitely continue to buy from etrailer in the future!
by:
Very easy to install because it was a direct replacement for the old lights which still worked but the harness was a mess and needed to be replaced.

Easy install works as it should.

exactly what my trailer came with 33 years ago. Easy and quick purchase and followed up with concerned emails.

I needed to replace a brake light on a used horse trailer. The one that arrived was a perfect fit, and very easy to swap out with the broken one. Looks like it came from the factory!
by:
The lights were what was needed to fit my Jeep but I didn’t pay attention to the fact these are sealed units, meaning you can’t change the bulb. You must repurchase a new housing if the bulb goes bad.

Exactly what I needed, shipped on time.

these lights and mounts give me the old school look I wanted at a reasonable price. They have worked perfectly.
by:
Weren't quite plug and play, for some reason the plug in connector has changed. So I had to splice the wires. It's been a year and so far they have lasted.
by:
Job made easy work with pigtails, grommets and light fixtures.

Great service, great shipping! Thank you for your service!

Works great. Good replacement

As usual the product was shipped and delivered promptly. The tail lights fit exactly and were installed and working in a very short time. I go here first for all of my trailer needs.

I needed replacement tail lights for my horse trailer and nobody in my area carried the specific replacements. I ordered two tail lights from your company. Within two weeks I received a much anticipated in our remote ( forget Amazon or two day service here) part of Oregon. I am very happy with your prompt service and quality parts!!

I ordered two trailer taillights on 7/27/2017. On 7/29 got notice that they "shipped".
Package with only one taillight received on 8/5/2017. That is 10 days. Too long for a company with "e" in its name.

Contacted them to "expedite" the second taillight missing from my order on 8/6/2017. Received that on 8/14/2017. 8 days for an expedited delivery on a messed up order.
If you buy from them be patient and hope you get the correct shipment the first time.
by:
Co.pany doesn't care about their customers will never order again from them. She was rude.
by:
5 star rating. The new tail lights were delivered promptly, the fit perfectly and were a breeze to install.
by:
My order was received quickly and as described. The light was an exact match to the one being replaced. I already have it installed and it works great. If you need a Peterson light, this is a great place to get it.
by:
I just bought a 2006 goose neck trailer that needed some minor repair. Wanted to match existing good parts. These lights were exact in every way. I liked the fact that new grommet and wire plug were included.

  • Wire Color Layout For Peterson Light 435800
    Hi Carl! Sorry about that. I have the color layout for the Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ Grommet and Plug - Stop, Turn, Tail - Incandescent - Round - Red Lens # 435800 listed below: White - Ground Black - Tail Light Red - Turn Signal What are you going to be installing this on?

  • How To Remove Trailer Taillight that is Recessed Mounted in a Grommet
    Our installer here will spray the light with some lubricant around where the light meets the grommet and then will use a screwdriver to pry the light out first, and then the grommet. If you check out the install video I attached you will see this done.

  • Left Side Trailer Tail Lights and Blinkers on a Kaufman 43 ft Car Hauler Won't Work
    I've got a couple troubleshooting steps you can go through to determine the cause of this, but it sounds like the right side of the trailer is fully functional and the left side isn't. You can start by testing your vehicle's wiring harness. First check and make sure that the harness is free from dirt and debris; clean it off as needed. Next, you'll want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to make sure that all of the pins on the vehicle harness are delivering power as they should. I've...

  • Forest River LED Trailer Light Replacements
    For an LED version of the light you sent in a picture of you'd want the part # STL22RB with the grommet part # A70GB. I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since I am not totally sure what the other marker lights are we do have the LED part # MCL31RB which is 4 inch by 2 inch. For a standard roof vent to fit what you have currently we have the Ventline Ventadome kit part # V2094SP-30 which has a 12 volt fan in it. For interior lighting we have the...

    So what you have currently is our part # 435800 which we have a replacement LED style light for with the part # M826R-7. For an install grommet you'll then want the part # 426-18 and for a wiring harness part # 431-491 and you'd be set.

  • Replacement for Signal Stat 9031 Trailer Light Assembly
    I wasn't able to find much detailed information on the Signal Stat 9031 model light assembly that you mentioned other than that it has been discontinued. In order to see if the Peterson Light Red Flush Mounted Turn Signal # 435800 will work well as a replacement, I simply recommend comparing its dimensions to your existing light. This light measures 4-1/4 inches in diameter and 2-1/4 inches deep. It does include a mounting grommet. If this matches the measurements you take on your Signal...

  • Replacing an Incandescent Peterson Light With a Peterson LED Light
    The Peterson LumenX LED Trailer Light # M826R-7 should replace your Peterson # 435800 without issue. That being said, though they are the same diameter, the grommet may not be able to be reused. I suggest also getting # 426-18 just to make sure you are covered. Both of these lights do use the standard 3 prong wiring design, so the wiring can be reused from your original setup.

  • Looking For Replacement Tail Light For 2012 Ranger Z521 Trailer
    Hey Peter, thanks for reaching out. We should have a tail light replacement for you, but there isn't a way to look up your trailer to know exactly which size light you will need. Looking at those 2012 Ranger trailers online the pictures I am seeing show a round tail light with a grommet. For example, it looks a lot like the Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ Grommet and Plug # 435800. This is a 4-1/4" diameter light and it fits in a 4-1/2" cutout. Please double check the light diameter and...

  • Dimensions of Peterson Red Flush Mounted Sealed Turn Signal Light 435800
    The 4-1/4-inch measurement provided for the Peterson Red Flush Mounted Sealed Turn Signal # 435800 refers to the diameter of the light itself, not of the mounting grommet that is included. The outer diameter of the grommet is 5-1/2-inches.

  • Round LED Trailer Tail Lights to Replace Peterson Incandescent Lights
    Three inches is small for a tail light. There aren't even any incandescent stop, tail, and turn lights as small as 3 inches. It looks like to get what you want you will need to got to a 4 inch light. If you like the Peterson lights and need a flush mount that mounts in a grommet you could use # 435800. It does use the plug-in style connector but you would still hardwire all of the wires, including the grounds, to the trailer. This light includes the grommet and pigtail. I have included...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Compatible with Peterson 435800 Trailer Stop/Turn/Taillight
    We don't offer a plug and play trailer harness that would plug directly into the Peterson # 435800 trailer taillight. The lamp includes a 3 pin pigtail that would plug into the rear of the lamp which would wire directly into the trailer wiring. If you need a 4 pole harness for your trailer, we offer them in varying lengths. • For a 20 foot harness, use part # A20WB • For a 25 foot harness, use # A25W2GWB • For a 30 foot harness, use # HM48265 • For a 35 foot harness, use # A35W42B To...

  • Can Bulb be Replaced on Peterson Red Flush Mounted Sealed Turn Signal Light 435800
    Peterson brake/turn signal light # 435800 is sealed and cannot be opened up to change out the bulb. I pulled one from the warehouse to verify this and cannot get the lens off (without breaking it) to access the bulb/interior of the light. What I recommend is to use an LED light, # STL43RB, because the LEDs will last much longer than a regular incandescent bulb. For a grommet use # A45GB and for a wiring harness use # A45PB.

  • What Lube Is Needed To Remove or Install Grommet On Trailer Tail Light
    In regards to removing or installing a light with large rubber grommet like the Peterson Trailer Tail Light part # 435800, you can use anything from a soapy water mix or a can of WD-40. It's simply helping the light install or remove with less force as to not damage the rubber.

  • Dimensions Of Petersen Trailer Tail Light 435800
    Hello Franklin. Unfortunately, we do not have any kind of 3D model of the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # 435800 that we can send you. Most trailer light manufacturers do not make these kind of models for their parts. We do have some more basic dimensions that I have included below. This light is 2-1/16" deep and has a 4-1/4" overall diameter. Let me know if there is a more specific dimension you are looking for and I will see what I can do to help.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where Lights Don't Work on Left Side of Trailer
    It's probably the ground of the taillights on the left side of the trailer. Check to make sure the ground wire is making a solid connection or if the assemblies ground through the hardware make sure the hardware is connected to a clean metal surface. Sometimes using a jumper wire from the ground to the main ground wire of the trailer wiring can fix the issue.

  • What Size Light Fits the Custer Light Mounting Box # MT-BOX4-2
    Yes, the difference in diameter of the openings of the Custer Light Mounting Box # MT-BOX4-2 that you referenced and the diameter of the lights that fit into the holes is the grommet. The Peterson Trailer Tail Light part # 435800 is the correct size for this. It is overall a diameter of 4-1/4 inches and when using the included grommet it fits the hole size perfectly.

  • Replacement Tail Light Needed for Cattle Wagon
    The Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ Grommet and Plug, # 435800 has dimensions of 4-1/4" diameter x 2-1/16" thick.

Dimensions for fitment are primary, please compare the 4-1/4" diameter against your needs. We also have available the Peterson Mounting Bracket, # 426-09 if needed.

  • 4 Inch Round Submersible Trailer Light Recommendation
    I have a solution for you, but the 4-3/8" Round Trailer Tail Light # ST24RB that you referenced is not submersible. The closest thing we have to what you referenced that is submersible would be the Red Flush Mounted Sealed Turn Signal # 435800.

  • Can Peterson Round Flush Mount Trailer Light be Installed in 1/8 Inch Thick Diamond Plate
    Yes you can install red flush mount light # 435800 in diamond plate. The grommet will hold the light in place by compression. For a similar backup light you can use # BU45CB with grommet # A45GB and wiring harness # A45CB.

  • Round Trailer Taillight with Grommet Availability
    It sounds like you are looking for round lights that install with a round grommet like the Peterson part # 435800. This is the very common round trailer taillight design seen on a lot of trailers and even flat bed trucks. Let me know if I am off base and I'll see what would be your best option.
