A PC-rated light produces a 90-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 180 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be clearly seen when you are standing directly in front of the light, as well as when you are standing on either side of the light. When properly installed, this type of light can function as both a front clearance light and a side marker light or as a rear clearance light and side marker light.
Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Today we'll be taking a look at the Peterson Armored Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light. This is going to give you better visibility for your trailer, since it's going to allow other drivers to see where you are, and also stay safe and DOT compliant.It's going to be a metal housing to keep our light protected, and that's also going to be a surface mount design, so our ground connection will be made by that metal surface making contact with our trailer, so we'll just have one wire to actually connect. It does not come with any mounting hardware for this, so you will have to pick some up on your own. It has an incandescent bulb in there, and to replace that you'll just need to remove the two Phillips head screws in that housing.The nice thing about this light is that it does have a viber socket, which is kind of like a little rubber socket to help absorb any road shock to help make that light last a little bit longer, so you don't have to worry about replacing it prematurely. So it's just kind of a softer material to help absorb some of that vibration. Lens just goes right back over it, put our two tabs in place, and then we can tighten those screws down.The bulb type for this light is 168, which you can find pretty commonly.
Put our other bracket in place, and then we'll go over some measurements. This light is compatible with 12 volt DC systems, and it is PC rated, which basically means that it can be seen from both the front and the side, and be still effective as long as it's mounted properly.The overall length of our housing is about four and a half inches, and that curve to the other side, it's about two and a quarter inches tall, and then about one and a quarter inch thick. The distance between our mounting holes, which are diagonal from each other, but the distance between those two would be three and three eights inches. The diameter of each of those holes is about three sixteenths. The power draw at 12 volts is 0.35 amps.
It is made in USA.I'm going to hook it up to a power source here so we can see just how bright it is, my power to the wire there, and then my ground. I can really go to any of those metal surfaces, and that'll ground out the light. So you can see you turn on the power source, it turns on, turn off the lights in the studio and you can get a better idea of just how bright it is. You can see from the side, we still can clearly see that that light is on, so that's why we get why we get that PC rating.So it can be used as a clearance light and a side marker light at the same time, again, as long as it's mounted of properly. This works as an exact replacement for the Optronics number, MC-82AB, truck light number 203O9Y, and the Grote 45173.That's going to do it for our look at the Peterson Armored Clearance and Side Marker Light..
Excellent Service!!!
Exactly as ordered, shipped same day. Arrived on date promised. Perfect service.
Looks like very nice quality.
Easy to install The metal frame will really help tree limbs out in the pasture. Lights are really bright
well built light and fair price more than satisfied I purchased four of them
Good solid peace. Wires could be longer.
Great product for the price. Shipping was fast.
Excellent product. Perfect for my old Ford flatbed.
Worked as it should. Very fast shipment.
It's a marker light for a trolley .
This was an exact replacement for what was on the truck it was for. The pictures on the website were great in helping me identify the right product.
These are just what I wanted for my customers trailer. He is very pleased with the products and can't wait for me to get it all together so he can start using the trailer. What was on there before was total junk. Half worked and half didn't.
Great company!
Easy to install, needed sheet metal screws and an electrical coupler. And should have Phillips and drill handy for sheet metal screw mounting. Theses things are tough.
I have a horse trailer whose rear doors would occassionally swing open, flex past their stops and break the clearance lights. No more with these armored lights! So durable they should be on military tanks!
Easy ordering online. Very quick to get it shipped, then your in fate of UPS, USPS or FedX to how quick you get it. I was happy with my time frame.
I had a hard time finding a metal framed side marker light that came close to matching the other one I have on other side of truck. But this is very close & you can't see them both at the same time anyway.
I haven't got around to installing it yet, but very happy with the quality of the light so far!
this was great it match and installed in place , it work that was good, the shipping work out also very timely, etrailer works for me it save me time and the running around trying too fine these parts thanks etrailer,,,,,
This is a classic American product: tough, effective, and reasonably priced. They are to be replacements on a flatbed I am installing on another truck. So that they fit is definitely a bonus.
Yet I'm looking also to increase efficiency with LED bulb equivalents. This is not easy to do because most of these fixtures have bulbs so well shock mounted and with bulbs that last so long replacements are not a priority. eTrailer did a fine job of putting me in touch with people at Peterson who can provide the necessary specifications.
Shipping was fast. Packaging was fine. No complaints.
