Hey Charles, thanks for the information! Since your current Peterson 426E back up lights are incandescent, I recommend replacing both of them with LED's. The Optronics LED Backup Light for Trucks or Trailers item # BUL11CB is going to be the best option. They'll be much brighter and would draw a fraction of the power of an incandescent. They're definitely going to be a bit more expensive, but they last up to 50 times longer.
You'll need the Rubber Grommet for 4" Round Trailer Lights item # A45GB and the Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights - 3-Prong PL-3 Plug - 10" Lead item # A47PB to get the lights easily installed.
What kind of trailer or vehicle are you replacing lights on?
