Solution for LED Thin Line Side Marker Trailer Light

Question

Question:

I have the Peterson thin line 427400 on a Winnebago Rialta, a couple bulbs are burned out and one of the lenses cracked so I thought about replacing them with new LED lights, do they not make this light in LED or which one is a good replacement

I do have a solution, but the Peterson Thin Line # 427400 doesn't have an LED equivalent. I could recommend a different light but that would require drilling new holes to get it mounted. What you can do instead is swap the bulbs to LED using the 194 LED Bulbs # ARC78FR. This will keep the same style and let you use your current holes for mounting. The one with broken lens will have to be completely replaced since there are no longer replacement lenses available.

I bought the lenses and bulbs from you The bulbs work fine, the lenses don’t stay securely, they are too big ??

@SizeD they should fit it is the same light with different branding. I'm not sure how old your old lights were, could be a slight difference in production or wear over time. I would throw some sealant around the edges of the lens to keep them secure since this is the only replacement available.

@RetroL that would be the only option then. You can replace it with a new one and swap the bulb.

The Peterson LumenX LED Trailer Tail Light #M822R-7 does not include the wiring harness. They are sold separately. The correct wiring and plug for this light will be part #431-491.

Answer 4

So what you have currently is our part #435800 which we have a replacement LED style light for with the part #M826R-7. For an install grommet you'll then want the part #426-18 and for a wiring harness part #431-491 and you'd be set.

The Peterson LumenX LED Trailer Light #M826R-7 should replace your Peterson #435800 without issue. That being said, though they are the same diameter, the grommet may not be able to be reused. I suggest also getting #426-18 just to make sure you are…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
