Features to know about

Reliable Illumination in Any Condition: Submersible, Sealed Design

Water and weather are no match for this rectangular trailer light. The housing and lens are sonically sealed into one waterproof unit, making it fully submersible and safe to use even on trailers that hit the water. You won’t have to worry about moisture creeping in or shorting out your light—the sealed construction keeps the 2 incandescent bulbs protected and shining bright every time.

Versatile Visibility for Safety: PC-Rated 180° Coverage

When you’re hauling at night or in low visibility conditions, this light’s PC rating gives you wide-angle coverage for safety. It puts out a 90-degree beam to each side of center for a full 180 degrees of light spread. That means it can work as both a clearance and a side marker light when properly mounted, making your trailer more visible from multiple angles.

Simple and Solid Mounting: Surface Mount with Standard Bracket

Installation is straightforward thanks to its surface-mount design and compatibility with standard Optronics brackets like the A65B (sold separately). The bracket uses a single wire for power and grounds through the mounting hardware when attached to the trailer frame—no extra wiring needed. Once mounted, the 3-15/16" long by 1-1/4" tall by 7/8" deep light stays secure and low-profile, keeping your setup clean and functional.

Durable Build That Lasts: Polycarbonate Housing and Lens

Built tough with a polycarbonate housing and amber lens, this light holds up to bumps, weather, and regular use on the road. The 2 incandescent bulbs inside deliver bright output at 12V DC while drawing just 0.6 amps at 12.8 volts. DOT compliance ensures it meets road safety standards, and with its dependable construction, it’s a practical choice for long-term reliability.

This was my first time ordering from E-Trailer and I was very satisfied with their service and simplicity of online ordering. They had all the parts I needed and were received efficiently and packaged well. Their prices were very competitive as well. I have added E-Trailer to my favorites list for trailer parts.



by:

All ordered pieces arrived in perfect condition and in good time. The immediately needed light is already installed and the others are in hand for future use.

working well as I expected.



by:

All items arrived quickly and in good condition. Items needed to replace marker lights on a Haulmark trailer I own, old lights still worked but lenses had faded after years of sitting in direct sunlight
If newer LEDs would have fit old style holders I would have changed over to them but they are different size. Got yellow, red and half yellow-red. Good product.



by:

Perfect fit, No more white fades marker lights.
Thanks

We were delighted to have received our lights. However we over looked that they did not come with the mounting brackets. Would you be able to help or point me in the right direction.



by:

I was pleased to see that these lights were still available. My trailer is 13 years old. I really didn't want to have to change all the clearance lights to have them match. Very reasonably priced and quick delivery.

etrailer,

Ordered for my boat trailer.Purchased lights both last
year and this year.No compaints,Fit good and can;t beat
the price.

by:

Unusually responsive company. My initial order came in several days before it was expected. I received emails at shipment, and again after delivery. One of the lights I received was only partially working. Instead of calling the company, I just responded to their email and explained it. They immediately sent me a replacement light and it arrived within two days. Customer service of this caliber is all too uncommon these days. I plan on using this company for all my trailer needs. No kidding, they have the lowest prices and the best customer service I have experienced in a long, long time.



by:

The running lights I ordered for my trailer snapped right into place. I placed the order and it was filled that day and sent out to my address also Etrailer helped me with the shipping cost. Will definitely order from them again. Best of all they beat everyone else's price.



by:

Needed to replace faded and missing lights, these plugged in in seconds.



by:

I have used several parts from etrailer over the years, and have never had any problem. they handle only the best quality and I can get hard to find products sent quickly and easily right to my house. I could not recommend a company more highly than etrailer.



by:

Everything is good except 3 of the Amber led marker lights went out after about 4 months.
Had to replace them.



by:

Well you would think that trailer lights would be pretty common in most stores. NOT! Especially the half lights of red/amber running lights.
When I found etrailer on the net it was a refresher to see so many lights and to actually have the ones I needed.
Kudos to etrailer. Will be shopping with you folks from now on with any of my trailer light needs.
Thanks

Ordered this item on a Tuesday and by the following Monday I had it. Was anxiously awaiting it to arrive. Because I needed it ASAP to repair my trailer clearance lights so I could cover my trailer for the winter. I tried getting this item from the dealer (who I found out was no longer in business) and I also tried getting it from the trailer manufacturer. It took the manufacturer almost a week to get back with me. With a price that was much higher than etrailer.com. Sorry, didn't have time to take any pictures; had to cover the trailer up with a RV Trailer Cover before bad weather.



by:

Like other reviews have said, I also found the side marker lights very easy to install. The only problem? They're brighter than every other light on my 1983 Coleman Columbia camper. I'm thinking about replacing the rest with e-trailer lights! And the service was first-rate... Not always the case with e-commerce outfits.

Great price. Fast service. My go to place for trailer lights!

These are a direct replacement for my haulmark car trailer. The lights work great and I decided to order an extra set and a mounting bracket in case one breaks while on the road. Just take your time when replacing the lights to avoid breaking the retaining clips.

This trailer light bulb fits my existing Peterson 154A trailer light. And shipping from etrailer was fast, convenient and cheap.

Products are still functioning. It is incandescent, so it matches my other lights in brightness and looks.



by:

My Jetski trailer had a clearance light that was knocked off before I bought it. It's always bothered me and I finally bought this one to replace original, no longer available. It fit fine and covered existing holes. I had to drill a hole in the frame behind the light to allow the two pins to enter the frame itself and connect to existing wiring. I bought two in case I decide to change out the other one on the other side of trailer so they match but, since you can't see both at the same time, I'm OK with it for now. Looks good.

My new LED light is still functioning. Looks good. I still havent replaced the old incandescent one on other side



by:

I bought these incandescent for my leeisurelite trailer so i could stop hyperflashing. My trailer worked o k on 2014 limited but not 2017 cvo limited. When u have a cvo the bcm is totally different. Badlands and custom dynamic don't have a load equilizer for cvo. I put these lights on the front of my trailer and didn't have a problem. I couldn't put a Universal 5.6 Ohm Turn Signal Load Equalizer for Harley-Davidson® because they heat up. I couldn't put it inside the trailer (heat)or the outside because not waterproof. The incandescent lights work. Cheap and the easiest fix. I also had a isolator harness.

These match the lights I am replacing exactly. I have always used etrailer for my trailer parts.

Excellent service, speedy delivery and perfect look and fit as original. Advised of order placement and shipping status. This is the third order I have placed and each has been clean and easy. I will continue to do business with etrailer in the future.

Knowing that a Black trailer would be hard to see at night the following lights were added to my custom built trailer for night time safety.

1- Side mount red and yellow fender light which only works when either the brakes or turn signal are in use.

2- Front Clearance lights, which give additional lighting at night when approaching on coming vehicles.

    There are five mounting brackets available that fit the Optronics Trailer Clearance Side Marker Light # MC65AB. These three are all black plastic.

  • Clearance Light Recommendation that are 3-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 7/8 inch
    I believe the Clearance Light part # MC65RB would be the correct light for you. The difference in length is about .1 of an inch which would be close enough. Especially since these look exactly like what you have and the other dimensions match up. The amber version of this is part # MC65AB. Fort the amber/red version you would want # MC65ARB.

  • Can the Clearance Light MC65AB be Wired to a Trailer that Uses a Ground Wire
    To install the part # MC65AB you would want to use the bracket with wiring part # A65PB which has a power wire but then grounds through the mounting hardware. If you have a ground wire on your current fender setup you can run the ground wire to the mounting hardware and be ready to go.

I did an online search for Trucklite 7318 and was able to find a website that offered what looked like the correct part you would need. I wasn't able to get any pictures of it so it would be hard for me to determine what would be the closest thing we offer that would potentially work. I did attach a link to a page that has all of the trailer lights we do offer. Most...

  • Can Incandescent and LED Bulbs Be Mixed To Stop Hyper-Flashing
    If you were to install the Optronics Incandescent Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light part # MC65AB inline with the stop/turn signal lights on your trailer that could then allow the system to draw enough power to stop the hyper-flash but there would be no way for me to confirm this, you would just need to give it a try. Also, this is a single function light so it would blink with the turn signals and then stay illuminated when the brakes are depressed. If you can confirm the trailer...

The numbers on the lens will not be for the light. Many times you can find the number for the light on the back of the light itself.

  • Power Draw of Optronics Trailer Clearance/ Marker Light # MC65AB
    According to my Optronics representative, the Optronics Sealed Trailer Clearance and Marker Light, part # MC65AB draws a total of 0.6 amps at 12.8-volts. An LED version is also available, part # MCL75AB which draws a fraction of that, 0.06 amps at 12.8-volts. Either lamp is used with a base, part # A65PB in black or # A67CB in chrome plated plastic. The lamp base has a single power wire, and picks up its grounding connection by its mounting hardware being connected directly to the trailer frame.

  • Will Optronics Clearance and Side Marker Light # MC65AB Replace a Light Marked SAEP2P3PC29T
    To order trailer lights you will want to order by part number on your lights or by the size of the light you will need. The SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. The SAE part number is not the part number of the light, it is just a number on the lens that means that lens has passed SAE guidelines. These part numbers are usually on the lenses of most all trailer lights. You will want to get a brand name (Bargman, Peterson, Wesbar) and the part number (40-38-001, 154R, 221902)...

    The Optronics Trailer Light, part # MC65AB, will need a mounting bracket and single wire plug like the Optronics Black Bracket and Single Wire Plug, part # A65PB. The trailer light will not mount directly to the trailer without a mounting bracket. The # MC65AB trailer light does not have any wiring. When this light is mounted to the # A65B mounting bracket it will ground through the mounting hardware and the single wire plug on the bracket will be used for the power lead. I also have...
