Old bulbs fade fast and drain power, but this 3-13/16" x 1-1/4" Peterson Piranha LED light delivers bright, efficient lighting that lasts. With four durable LEDs drawing only 0.02 amps at 12V, it gives off a strong, vibrant glow while keeping energy use low. There are no fragile filaments to break, and it lasts up to 50 times longer than incandescent lights, meaning no more constant replacements—just steady, reliable output every time you tow.
Moisture and corrosion can ruin trailer lights fast, especially around water. This Piranha series light is built to stop that problem before it starts. The housing and lens are sealed together into one waterproof unit that keeps out dirt and water even when submerged. The circuit board uses SMD construction to handle shock and vibration better while improving heat distribution for a longer lifespan.
Installing a dependable light shouldn’t take all day. This surface-mount design lays flat against the trailer using a bracket (sold separately) with just a small hole for wiring. The simple 2-wire plug setup makes connection quick—power and ground, nothing extra. It’s a neat fit that looks clean once mounted and stays secure through rough roads or repeated use.
When you’re on the road at night or in poor weather, visibility matters most. The P2 rating on this light gives you a focused 90-degree beam spread—45 degrees to each side of center—making it easy to see from the front or rear of the trailer. It’s ideal for use as a clearance or side marker light, meeting DOT standards so your trailer lighting stays road legal and safe to follow.
Beyond function, this light has a sharp, modern look with its red lens over white LEDs. The thin profile and bright, even output give your trailer a clean appearance that stands out day or night. It’s part of the Peterson Piranha series—built for people who want dependable durability and style in one compact LED package.

Today we're taking a look at the Peterson Piranha LED red clearance or side marker light. This rectangular trailer light functions as both a clearance light and a side marker light for your trailer. Has a nice sealed design so it does a great job at keeping out dirt and moisture.It's an LED unit so it makes a great replacement for incandescent lights. LED's, they last longer, they burn brighter, they're more efficient. You don't have to worry about replacing bulbs and you don't have to worry about brittle filaments.It mounts on the surface of a trailer with a bracket. Your bracket is sold separately.
It's available at etrailer.com and then it accepts the female marker light plug from Peterson, which is also sold separately and available at etrailer.com.It's Department of Transportation compliant. When it comes to the measurements of the unit, take a look at that and then we'll hook it up to power. We're looking at about three, and if we're going edge to edge, we're looking at about three and 13/16ths of an inch. Edge to edge going in this direction it's about an inch and a quarter, and the depth, just measuring the actual lens and housing area, it's about 13/16ths of an inch deep.All right, we'll go and hook it up to power. Turn off our our overhead lights so you can see it in a low light setting.
So you can see here, it sends out a really nice clear, consistent signal. It has a multi diode design, so that means that it has four LED's. So the multi diode design really helps optimize the overall light output. It's a very bright design, very visible, nice and easy to see.I do want to point out that the rated input voltage for this unit is nine volt to 16 volt DC.That's going to do it for today's look at the Peterson Piranha LED red clearance or side marker light.
