Features to know about

Reliable Lighting for Every Tow: 4-Function Incandescent Tail Light

When you need one light to handle every signal, this Peterson combination tail light covers it all. It delivers stop, turn, tail, and rear-reflex functions from a single unit. The built-in reflector means there’s no need for a separate one, so installation stays clean and simple. Powered by one 1157 incandescent bulb at 12V DC, it draws 2.2 amps at 12.8V and puts out dependable illumination that keeps your trailer visible and compliant on the road.

Built to Last in Real-World Use: Corrosion-Resistant Design

Moisture and corrosion can ruin a light fast, but this model is made to hold up over time. The socket is corrosion-resistant to keep the electrical connection secure, and the polycarbonate housing with its white base protects the bulb from wear and tear. That means fewer problems with flickering lights or failed sockets down the line—just steady performance every time you hook up and go.

Straightforward Mounting: Surface-Mount With Two-Wire Setup

Installing this light doesn’t require complicated brackets or rewiring. It’s a surface-mount design that lays flat against your trailer using standard hardware (not included) and only needs a small hole for the wiring to pass through. The two-wire system makes hookup simple—one for power and one that grounds through the mounting hardware—so you can get back on the road quickly with reliable lighting in place.

Sized Right for Easy Replacement: 8-13/16" x 5-1/16" x 2-3/4"

When replacing old lights or pairing with the matching driver-side model, exact sizing matters. Measuring 8-13/16" long by 5-1/16" tall by 2-3/4" thick, this rectangular passenger-side light fits cleanly where most standard tail lights mount. It’s DOT compliant and built for those who just want a solid, straightforward replacement that matches up without fuss.

The taillights were for an older pop up camper purchase that needed some TLC and bringing it back to a legal road use, I figured would be a good thing. You had what I needed and still working well. Thanks
by:
It's an exact match to the one that I am replacing on the RV camper. Made out of quality material. Very reasonably priced.

Hey Rodney. I'm happy to hear that it was a perfect patch! What camper do you have?

by:
While this light is fully functional and will work, the description could use some additional information for those that are looking for a fully "surface mount" light. The hole that the wires go through is not flush so you will either need to have it in a cutout or you will need to delete the plastic around the hole so it will allow for a surface mount. Also the screw holes on the light are not flat with the light and will prohibit a flush mount to the surface of your vehicle. If you review my photos you will see that have fully screwed in these lights however they sit off the surface just a little bit on the edges because of the light design. I'm hoping they are water tight enough but I will see after a season of use.

I installed a set of these on my truck camper several (10?) years ago. While completing a restoration project on the camper, I accidently broke one of the housings. Faced with having to replace both lights (for a matched set), I was thrilled to see that these Peterson lights were still available. Ordered one and installed it. So now the world is right again!
Thanks etrailer !

I lost a taillight cover and found a match for my trailer and ordered one for each side. They arrived on time and were reasonably priced and didn’t charge a crazy amount for shipping. Will definitely use them again for my trailer needs.

I ordered 2 universal rear lamp assemblies for a pop up camper I am trying to fix up. When they arrived the left lenses was cracked. I called and told the sales rep What happened and I needed it by the weekend. They shipped it immediately and I received it in on Saturday. Everyone was polite and professional! Great Job and great customer service!

It was exactly what I needed great price fast delivery and I will always get what I need from you thank you so much it’s not like a guessing game the part matches my original perfectly thank you and merry Christmas to you and your company 100 percent happy

I bought this to replace a broken light on my 1995 Viking pop-up tent trailer and it is a perfect match! The only difference is, it is brighter and cleaner, so don't order one, but get both sides. You won't be disappointed.

Works great, perfect fit, easy installation. Will use this site for all of my rv/trailer parts.

Works just like the original, matches the old light which is important with an older trailer.

This product does NOT come with a pigtail to wire in the ground (-). The pigtails for turn and tail are fine.

  • Replacement for Discontinued Bargman 30-91-010 and 30-91-011 Tail Lights
    Hello again John; when First Brands took over as the parent company for Bargman they discontinued most of their lights. That includes the direct replacement for the 30-91-010 and 30-91-011. Typically we recommend the the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # V457 and # V457L to replace these. However, they do not have a backup light function. The next best thing is the Optronics LED RV Tail Light # OPT34KB and # OPT54KB. These have a smaller profile at 8" long x 4" tall x 1-1/2" deep and have...

  • Looking for Replacement Taillights for 2012 Coachman Apex
    Hey George, I tried to look up what the rear of a 2012 Coachman Apex looks like and I found a couple decent pictures and it looks like the taillight style is the part # V457L that you referenced for the driver side and part # V457 for the passenger side. If what you have looks different email me a picture of what you have and I'll see what you'd need.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Tail Lights For 2021 Forest River Vengeance Rogue 26VKS
    Hi Bonnie, While we don't know specifically what tail light is on any one trailer, I can help point you in the right direction for tail lights on your 2021 Forest River Vengeance Rogue 26VKS. It's pretty simple though as all you have to do is measure your current tail lights and find the one that most closely matches your measurement. For lights that have a license plate bracket there are a couple options, one being the Low Profile LED RV Tail Light w/ License Bracket # RVSTLB61. This...

  • Looking For Replacement Tail Light Cover For 1996 Pop Up Camper
    Hello Kari, thanks for reaching out. We may have what you are looking for. There are two good ways to determine the correct light cover. The best way is with the part number of your light. If you can provide that, we can usually use it to pull up information on your light and find the correct lens. The other way is to simply compare pictures and dimensions and try to find a match. There is no way to add pictures on here, but if you want to email them to me at [email protected]...

  • Replacement Tail Light Recommendation for Bargman 92 Series Tail Lights
    Hey Kolt, thanks for reaching out! The 92 Series Bargman tail lights were discontinued a few years ago so you'll need to use a different tail light and for that I recommend the Peterson brand: - Driver Side - # V457L - Passenger Side # V457 These are a little larger at 8-13/16" long x 5-1/16" tall x 2-3/4" thick, but they look similar enough that your camper will look the same.

  • Are There Replacement Tail Light Lenses For 2013 Aliner Sport
    Hi William, I believe what your 2013 Aliner Sport has are discontinued Bargman tail lights, so we don't have a replacement lens option. The best we can offer are replacement lights, the Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ License Bracket - Driver Side # V457L and/or Peterson Combination Trailer Tail Light - Passenger Side # V457. These measure 8-13/16" long x 5-1/16" tall x 2-3/4" thick so should be very close to the size or your current lights but you'll want to take a quick measurement to...

  • Replacement Tail Light for 1988 Jayco Jay-Series 1008 Pop Up Camper
    I am unable to find a lens replacement or the exact tail light replacement for your 1988 Jayco J-Series 1008 DD pop up camper. My recommendation is to replace the light with the Peterson Combination Trailer Tail Light - 4 Function - White Base - Red Lens - Passenger Side # V457 and if you want the license plate mount # V457L. If you don't want the plate mount and just want the matching set the # V457 will work for both sides.

  • Replacement Trailer Tail Light Recommendations for Bargman 94 Series Lights
    It looks like this light series has been discontinued so your best bet is to replace the entire assembly on either side of your trailer - you'll just have to remove the current rivets and install new rivets with new light assemblies and for that I recommend the following from Peterson: - Driver Side # V457L - Passenger Side # V457 These lights measure 8-13/16" long x 5-1/16" tall x 2-3/4" thick so they'll be a little larger than what you currently have which will be a good solution...

  • Replacement Trailer Taillight Lens For a 1989 Jayco 809 Deluxe Pop Up Camper
    The Peterson Combination Trailer Tail Light # V457 and V457L are going to be some of the closest lights to your original tail lights on your 1989 Jayco 809 Deluxe. These surface mount lights are 8-13/16" wide x 5-1/16" tall. The drivers side light base includes the mounting tabs for the license plate. Your taillight lens is no longer in production and would be very difficult to find a used one in good condition due to the age of your Jayco. You can try a local RV salvage yard to see if...

  • How Should Peterson Combination Tail Lights V457L and V457 Be Wired To Trailer?
    Based on the light illuminating and only having the issue once new lights were installed the issue is on the camper side of things and not in your 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. When installing the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # V457L and # V457 you should connect the brown wire on the tail lights to the tail light wire on the trailer (Brown wire on the 4-way you are using to test) and the green wire on the tail light to the yellow/green wire on the trailer (Yellow and green wire on the 4-way...

  • Recommended Replacement Taillights for a 1993 Dutchmen Classic 26FL
    From what I can see, the Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ License Bracket # V457L looks like it could work great however you'd need to do some measuring on your end and make sure the two are close in size. If it turns out that your current taillights are close or dead on, then you'd just need the Peterson Combination Trailer Tail Light # V457 for the passenger side.

  • Availability of Peterson M457 Light for Driver Side
    We do have the driver side light available, they are not universal. The correct light is the Peterson Trailer Tail Light w/ License Bracket # V457L. Unlike the # V457, this includes the license plate bracket and light.

  • Similar LED Version of Peterson Trailer Taillight # V457

  • Installation of Peterson Rectangular Stop/Tail/Turn/Reflex Trailer Tail Light V457L
    RV makers do not maintain details/specs on the smaller items like tail lights that they install when fabricating their RVs. The USA-made Peterson Rectangular Stop/Tail/Turn/Reflex Trailer Tail Light # V457L is for the driver-side of a trailer and it includes mounting tabs for your license plate. The matching passenger-side item is # V457; it does not have tabs for the plate. Both lights also have four mounting holes on their white plastic bases. These can be seen if you click on the linked...

  • Troubleshooting Turn Signals Not Bright on Popup Camper
    Since I'm assuming you just installed the # V457 and # V457L it is unlikely the lights themselves are the problem. It could have to do with the installation. These lights are designed to ground through the mounting hardware. Make sure the hardware is running into a metal surface that contacts the trailer frame. You could also run a separate ground wire to the frame or main ground wire if it seems like that is the problem. The only other thing it would be is the power running to the lights....
