The Optronics Sealed Beehive LED Trailer Clearance Light # MCL23RB referenced in your question should only be used as a clearance or side marker light. It uses the 2-Wire Pigtail # A46PB (power and ground) to connect to the trailer's running lights. It is not DOT approved for use as a turn signal or brake light.

I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of trailer lights that are approved for turn signal and brake functions. I really like the Optronics Trailer Tail Light # STL72RB. This sealed, waterproof and corrosion resistant LED tail light functions as a combination stop, turn, and tail light. Its oval shape measures 6-7/16 inches long, 2-5/16 inches wide, and 1-3/4 inches deep.

I have included a short video demonstration on this product that you can take a look at.
