Question:
Looking to purchase some of these lights. Did not see how large of a hole I have to drill in my trailer frame. Please advise.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I went out to the warehouse and pulled Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL52AB to measure the back of the light. The back of the light that will fit into the hole on the trailer measures 2.27 inches so you would need a 2-1/4 inch hole. But I do recommend starting out slightly smaller just to be safe. You can always make a small hole larger but you can't make a large hole smaller.
For a pigtail to plug into this light use # A46PB.
