Replacement Boat Trailer Lights for 2-3/4" Rough Cutout and 2-1/4" Grommet
Question:
I have a boat trailer with round recessed side running lights. 2 yellow and 2 red. I cant find what seem to fit on your site. The round rough holes are 2 3/4 inches wide. The current grommets accept lights that are 2 1/4 wide. Please help. Thank you,

I have a solution for you, but we do not have any replacement lights that will fit in those grommets. Instead, you can use the LED Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL002AXB (amber) and # MCL002RXB, which require a rough cutout dimension of 2-3/4", so they'll fit in your existing holes and provide you with the light solution you're looking for. These are waterproof LED lights so they're the perfect solution for a boat trailer as long as the rest of your lights are already LED.
If your boat has incandescent lights, you'll instead want to use the # MC55RB (red) and # MC57AB (amber) with the Cam-on Mounting Bracket # BK5557GB, which will cover up your existing rough holes and provide you with a mounting surface for these lights. These lights are submersible, but not waterproof, so they will have a drain hole in them-but they are designed for use on boat trailers.
All of these lights will require the use of a pigtail connector like the # A46PB or # A86PB to plug into the back of the lights and then connect to your trailer wiring.
I've linked some review videos on these lights that I recommend having a look at as well.
