Hello, Rear light on my 1987 Extreme trailer broke off. I need a little help identifying. The lights I have are single wire. My best guess is it is a Peterson. I am attaching photos. Thank you for you help

It definitely looks like you have Peterson Lights. With that being said, I do suggest measuring your lights to make sure the # 2250R will be the correct one. This will measure 2-1/4 inches long, 1-1/4 inches tall, and 3/4 of an inch thick.
