Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light
The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.
P2-Rated Lights
A P2-rated light produces a 45-degree angle of light to either side of its centerline for a total of 90 degrees of coverage. This beam pattern can be seen straight on, but it cannot be seen clearly from the side. So this type of light can be used as either a side marker light or a clearance light, but it cannot function as both. If you need both functions, then you must install 2 separate lights on your trailer - one as a front or rear clearance light and one as a side marker light.

The lights and fenders I purchased from etrailer.com were first rate just as described. This was a rehab of an older trailer with rusted fenders and rotted floor & sideboards. The pictures show an extra bracket installed on the top of the fenders. While this may not look perfect, it truly makes the fender a rugged reliable step for a full size adult.

small but powerful light

Lights were as presented on web site. Site was easy to use. The order was shipped fast. The lights fit perfectly. Great job Etrailer.
by: Bobby03/16/2021
Very Good lights..... On boat trailers run a separate Ground wire to them...Do not use the trailer frame as your ground. 90% of failed lights are Bad Grounds to the trailer frame.

Ive been using these for 2yrs now .Ive had 1 partial failure. IE: a few...Not all LEDs failed....It was exchanged 2 Orilies auto parts......They sell them too. No questions asked...Lifetime warranty. Ive equiped many..Many trailers with these....They are the ONLY ones I will use...75 of them on Boat trailers.
by: Jason05/14/2020
We use these lights here at Treeline Helicopters as indicator lights on our aerial tree saws, they are exactly as pictured and great quality, we’ve also used several heavy trailer products from etrailer and are very happy with the fast shipping and customer service!
by: Marvin C12/22/2016
Great small marker light. Used them at extreme rear of trailer facing forward to show outer limits of trailer in mirrors at night. Very bright.....works great! Size allows mounting in tight spaces.

These lights are still mounted and working great. Well over 2 years and approximately 7500 miles later. Trailer is parked outside in sun, rain and snow. No lens fading and all the diodes are burning brightly. Great small marker light.
by: Dave L03/24/2015
Excellent products and excellent service. I never have to wait to receive parts from the fine people at etrailer and the quality is always excellent. My latest purchase, two pair of side marker LEDs installed easily and work perfectly. Thanks etrailer!

Thanks for asking. I havent had any problems with any of the products Ivereceived from eTrailer, ever. I have several trailers, all of them have someof your products on them and while I do check their operability before I geton the road with them, it is more about safety routine than concern thatIll have a problem.I think eTrailer is one of the best online stores period, I value yourbusiness and appreciate all of the excellent customer service you provide. Ispread the good word about eTrailer whenever I can. I appreciate yourfollow-up. It only reinforces my opinion that you all are tops in customerservice.Best Regards

Bought amber and red for my trailer. Can't wait to get them On
by: William12/06/2022
Wire leads were wrong polarity. White wire had to go to negative and black wire to positive to make it work. And this was connection direct to battery. Just factory mistake but easy fix. Advise people to Just test first before installing.
by: John 06/29/2023
Minor issue resolved IMMEDIATELY! Don’t know why anyone would shop anywhere else.
by: Mark12/18/2022
I purchased these for the aluminum work cap on my Ram 3500. Simple. Nice and bright.
by: Lee H.12/23/2014
Great service, fast delivery, excellent product. Very bright, just what I wanted.
by: Tony R06/04/2017
I removed the old marker lights from my boat trailer and installed these LED lights a year ago. They are easy to install, very bright, and have worked great. I would definitely recommend this product.
by: Jim 10/31/2022
Light seems good. hooked it up, stuck trailer in water, still works. we will see what it does in 6 months when trailer goes back in water. lol
by: Bobby05/11/2018
Excellent product.....Been using these for 15yrs...on boat trailers.....Never a failure!
Using the frame on a boat trailer is a big No No.....Most problems are Bad grounds....Run a separate Ground wire to your lights and waterproof the connections and your lights will last and function correctly!
by: James10/25/2016
I bought red and amber LED marker lights and replaced all of the old corroded ones on my boat trailer. It didn't take long and they work great!
by: Fredjr06/12/2017
Very well made running lights.
Product is what it is for upgrading my boat trailer running lights. Etrailer has great product availability, very good and fair pricing and super service and fast shipping. The reasons I buy from etrailer whenever I need cargo and boat trailer parts.
by: Gabby08/19/2014
Great little light! Perfect size for a fender marker. Very bright for its size and seems to be well constructed. If mounting to a flat surface, be sure to drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center (of said flat surface) for the wires to pass thru or use standoffs behind the screws to prevent pinching of the wires as there is no slot on the back of the light itself.
by: John Spencer06/02/2014
Well Packaged, fast delivery, it's exactly what I ordered. If all the lights works, which have no doubts that it will when I hook it all up tomorrow then it will be money well spent and I will be a happy camper.

Works great, no problems whatsoever,Highly recommend them to friends.
by: Gary H.07/24/2016
the lights have worked well and I was very pleased. I installed the lights myself so you have to make sure you waterproof the connections but the lights have been underwater and managing quite well.

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- Recommended Mini LED Side Marker With Red LEDsWe sure do have a red Mini LED Side Marker you are looking for. The # MCL13R2B actually has 2 wires. The white wire is for a ground and should be attached to a clean bare metal surface using the attached ring terminal. The black wire attaches to the running light circuit in the trailer wiring.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wire is Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer LightThe Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL13R2B (Red Lens) and # MCL13A2B (Amber Lens) use 18 gauge wires on both their power and ground wire. I have added links to video reviews and installs of both lights for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can 20 LED Clearance Lamps Be Added To Trailer Without Overloading Tow Package Wiring on 2015 RamSince the clearance lights you're wanting to add are LED's, you have no worries. Each lamp draws only .046 of an amp at 12 volts. Multiply that by 20, and you have 0.92 amps which is less than an incandescent stop/tail/turn signal lamp would draw. This assumes that your trailer doesn't have and excessive amount of lighting currently.
view full answer... - Distance Between Mounting Holes on the # MCL13R2BThe mounting holes of the Sealed, Mini LED Side Marker # MCL13R2B are 2 inches apart.

- What Voltage Does Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL13R2B UseThe Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL13R2B that you referenced was designed to be used on a 12 volt power system. If you power them with a lower voltage setup you might get them to function but you'll also shorten the lifespan of the light by a considerable amount.
view full answer... - Replacement for Mini LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Lights MCL85AB and MCL85RB The Mini LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Lights like part # MCL85AB for amber are being discontinued by the manufacturer so instead of trying to find the red version and running into this issue again down the road, I recommend replacing them with a similar, updated design. The Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light part # MCL13R2B for red and Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light part # MCL13A2B for amber are what I recommend using for replacement....
view full answer... - Replacement Plastic Fender For Triton Boat Trailer With Clearance LightsIt sounds like you are needing a fender like the Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender with Top and Side Steps # F008573. This step is designed to fit mounting brackets that are spread 28" apart. You can fit Amber # MCL13A2B and Red # MCL13R2B clearance lights on the fender. If you can send me an image of the good fender with measurements for the fender, mounting brackets and lights I can see if we have something that matches exactly what you have.
view full answer... - Does the Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light Come with Clear LensYes, the Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light does come with a clear lens; part # MCL131RC210B for red or part # MCL13CA2B for amber bulbs.
view full answer... - Are Chrome Trim Rings and Foam Gaskets Reqired for Replacement Side Marker Lights for Boat TrailerThe polished chrome ring, # A13C2B, is not required for mounting the sealed mini side marker lights, # MCL13A2B and # MCL13R2B. This is decorative trim ring only. The foam gasket, # A13G2B, would be used if these lights are mounted on the outside of an enclosed trailer, to keep out water and road grime. The foam gasket also provides some cushioning that may increase the life of the side marker lights. For your boat trailer the foam gasket would not be required but might be a good idea...
view full answer... - Availability of Clearance Light for Trailer that Uses a Power and a Ground LightYou could use the part # MCL95RB with a ground wire if you wanted to. All you would need to do is run the ground wire to the mounting stud of the light before you tighten it down. Or the part # MCL13R2B is a somewhat similar light that uses two wire for power and ground. It is also submersible.
view full answer... - Is There Red Version of Optronics Trailer Clearance Light MCL85ABThe red version of the # MCL85AB was the part MCL85RB which we no longer can get. The most similar replacement at this time would be the part # MCL13R2B.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearing Kit Recommendation for 3,500 lb AxleThe correct bearing kit you'd need for a 3,500 lb axle is the part # BK2-100 which comes with bearings, seal, races and a cotter pin. The fender # CE18041ATB that you asked about would work just fine. The clearance lights # MCL13R2B and # MCL13A2B that you referenced will also work on these fenders but you'd need to drill holes in the fender to install them.
view full answer... - Similar Red Version of the Optronics Clearance Light # MC30ABI wish Optronics had a red version of the part # MC30AB but at this time they do not. For a somewhat similar red clearance light that has mounts that are 2 inches on center we have the part # MCL13R2B which would be a great solution.
view full answer... - Running Lights For Small Cycle TrailerHi Michael; for running lights like you want to use it'd be best to use surface-mounted lights. Not sure if you want red or white, but for white you can use the Dragon's Eye LED Utility Marker Light # DG52530VP. For red you can use the Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light # MCL13R2B. These are both 2-wire designs, so simple ground and power, and you can place them wherever you need on the frame as they just screw on.
view full answer... - Why Does The LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # 328-K-52 Have a Drain Hole? The LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # 328-K-52 has the openings as it is not designed to be a submersible light. While is is possible for water and moisture to get inside the lens the openings also allow for the moisture to get out. The hole is on the bottom as water is going to typically run down and not up into the lens unless it is completely submersed in water. We do have submersible lights like the Optronics # MCL13R2B which is fully sealed off. This will not offer a replacement...
view full answer... - Recommendation for LED Waterproof Corrosion Resistant Rescue Boat Trailer LightsSince your rescue boat trailer is 188 inches (15 feet 8-inches) tongue to tail and 89-1/2 inches (7-1/2 feet) width I recommend the following: I recommend Optronics right side LED trailer light # STL26RB and left side LED trailer light # STL27RB. They are waterproof and corrosion resistant and will mount to all surfaces. These work great with trailers over 80 inches wide. The left side has a built-in license plate light. The rear clearance and side marker red LED lights # MCL13R2B are...

- Replacement LED Light Recommendations For TrailerFor a grommet mount red 2 inch clearance light I recommend part # MCL55R1224B. This light uses a 2-wire pigtail, part # A46PB for installation. If you need amber, you would order part # MCL55A1224B. Installed without a grommet, these lights measure 2 inches diameter x 1 inch deep. You can use the 2 inch grommet part # A54GB for this light for a flush mount. It would require a 2-5/16 inch mounting hole. The tail lights I recommend are the Optronics GLOLight LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light, part...
