Features to know about

Brighter and More Efficient Lighting: Six-Diode LED Output

This 6" x 2" rectangular Peterson Piranha light uses six bright LEDs that deliver clear, vibrant illumination while drawing only 0.15 amps at 12V. The LEDs last up to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs and use less power, so you get higher visibility without extra strain on your electrical system. There are no filaments to break or bulbs to replace—just steady, reliable light every time you hit the road.

Improved Safety and Visibility: PC-Rated 180-Degree Coverage

Poor side visibility can make night towing stressful. This PC-rated light spreads light 90 degrees to either side of center for a full 180-degree beam, letting others see you from both the front and the side. When properly mounted, it works as a clearance, side marker, or mid marker light with an integrated turn signal function for added signaling clarity.

Durability That Handles the Road: Sealed Waterproof Housing

Road spray, rain, and dirt won't slow this light down. The sealed one-piece housing keeps moisture out, protecting the internal circuit board and diodes from damage. The skirted weld joint adds another layer of defense against weather and vibration. It’s built to handle rough conditions without dimming or flickering.

Simple Surface Mount Setup: Ready to Wire In

Mounting is straightforward with this surface-mount design. It sits flat against the trailer surface using holes spaced 4-3/4" center-to-center and wires in through a standard three-wire setup for ground, tail, and turn functions. No base is needed, so installation stays clean and hassle-free.

Clean Modern Look That Matches Your Build: Piranha Series Design

With its low-profile rectangular shape—6" long by 2" wide by 1-9/16" thick—and red lens over white LEDs, this Piranha series light gives your trailer a modern upgrade. The smooth housing and vibrant light output make it a smart match for new builds or LED conversions alike.

Perfect fit and bright very happy with my purchase

Quick and easy! Thanks!

Needed replacement specialty lights for a trailer project I was working on. Works great, and nice and bright.
by:
3 stars because of the clunky design, no gasket or screws. That said these are nice and bright and add turn signals to the side of the motor home; hope fully that will make us more visible. Used # 12 SS screws 1 inch long to mount.

Very happy with the result. Works just like I wanted it to.

See what our Experts say about this Peterson Trailer Lights

  • Is There a Light Bezel for the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light
    There is one option, though there isn't an exact chrome bezel made for the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light with Turn Signals # M353R (Red Lens) or # M353A (Amber Lens). The Chrome Bezel # A48CB is designed to fit 6" long x 2-1/4" tall lights while the Peterson are 6" long x 2" tall so they will be a little short so I can't absolutely guarantee they will work, but they are the closest option. Otherwise, these lights will attach to your trailer without a bezel,...

  • What to Do With Third Wire on Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light
    Hi Adam; the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light # M353A and # M353R you bought have an additional turn signal function. If you don't care about this function and only want them to act as side marker lights you can tape off the red turn signal wire like you said. If you want to use that functionality you will have to run extra wire and tap into the turn signal running back to the tail lights.

  • Replacing Peterson PM130 Incandescent Trailer Lights with LED Versions
    I will be happy to help you find the right LED replacement lights for your horse trailer. Based on the information you have provided the amber LED replacement is # MCL76AB. The red version is # MCL76RB. Another option is to use Peterson lights # M353A and # M353R. Since lights can sometimes go through design changes the new lights may not have the exact same dimensions as the old lights so that would be why you see slight differences in the measurements between your old lights and these lights.

  • Can LED Clearance Light on Trailer be Used as Turn Signals
    Thank you for your purchase of the LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL81RB from etrailer, and while there are clearance lights that can blink along with turn signals, unfortunately 2-wire lights like this one are unable to do so. What you will need instead are 3-wire clearance lights designed to also work as turn signals, and there are both red and amber surface-mounted lights that are available. - Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light with Turn...

  • Rectangle LED Clearance Light with Both Red and Amber Lenses
    I do have an option for you but the Miro-Flex LED Trailer Side Marker Light and Mid-Ship Turn Signal is not offered with a red lens, only amber part # MCL48AB and clear part # MCL48CAB. For a similar clearance light has turn signal capabilities I recommend the Peterson Piranha LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light w/ Supplemental Turn part # M353R which if you wanted to use this instead is also offered in amber as part # M353A.

  • Can 2-Wire Marker Lights be Used for Clearance & Turn Signals
    There is an option for lights that function as clearance and turn signal lights, but 2-wire clearance lights do not have that capability. Instead, you'd need the following 3-wire lights, which you can get in red or amber: - Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353R - Amber: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353A

  • Side Marker Lights That Can be Used as Turn Signal on Trailer
    You can install clearance/marker lights that flash in conjunction with your turn signals, you'll just need to install lights that have that capability. They are the following lights, and are available in either amber or red: - Amber: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353A - Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353R These are 6" long x 2" wide surface-mounted lights with mounting holes that measure...

  • Replacement LED Light Options for Peterson 124-A and 124-R Clearance Lights
    Your Peterson 124-A and 124-R lights measure 4-7/8" long x 2-1/4" wide x 1-3/8" thick with mounting hole dimensions of 3-7/8". We do not have any clearance lights that match those dimensions. I also tried locating replacement LED bulbs that would work with your Peterson lights but did not find any that seemed to work. I recommend going with the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Light # M353R for your 124-R and the Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Light # M353A...

  • Recommended Red and Amber Clearance Lights With Turn Signal Wiring
    I recommend using the Peterson Piranha in Amber # M353A or Red # M353R. These lights are 6" long and 2" tall with 6 LED's for long life and lower power draw.

  • Replacement 6 x 2 LED Trailer Lights
    Peterson has two of their lights which will work perfect for your application. The Red Piranha LED # M353R, and the Amber Piranha LED # M353A both measure 1-9/16 inches tall, 6 inches long, and 2 inches wide. The mounting holes measure 4-3/4 inches center-on-center. A more economic option is offered by Optronics. Rectangular LED - Red # MCL76RB, and Rectangular LED - Amber # MCL76AB. These LED lights have mounting holes which are 4-13/16 inches center-on-center (which is very similar),...

  • Is Trailer Clearance Lamp for MC76AB Available With Red Lens
    Optronics used to offer the # MC76AB lamp with a red lens but it's been discontinued and is no longer available. We do offer a similar replacement, part # M353R that's the same 6 x 2 inch size as the # MC76AB and also has very similar mounting hole spacing of 4-3/4 inches so it would be a good replacement for the original. It's also available with an amber lens as part # M353A.
