Peterson Piranha 168A Clearance Marker Light Dimensions

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 circuit board is sealed, which means that water will not damage the diodes or circuit board.


P2-Rated Lights

Diagram of light spread for P2 rated light

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.


Surface-Mount Light

Surface Mount Trailer Light Installation Diagram

Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Easy to install and fit holes from previous installation.



by:

Better than the ones that came with the trailer.



by:

These lights were the perfect brightness, very rugged, and easy to install inside protected areas of the frame on the updated raft trailer. etrailer has great selection, the website makes it easy to find the best parts for the job, and their communication is excellent. Their videos and reviews are invaluable.



by:

Purchased these side marker lights specifically because they have two wires rather than just a positive wire and the ground attached to the mounting grommet.
Lights were easy to mount and with rubber gasket they are protected from vibration.

All lights are working! Made one important change due to use in salt water. I ran all ground wires to the front of my boat trailer, so that the ground wire connections to the trailer would not be submerged when launching and retrieving my boat.



by:

Always seem to have the lighting products I am looking for.



by:

I had lights similar to these as markers on my old trailer, and was looking to find similar for the front markers on my Avalanche. NIce and small, bright as can be, fully sealed behind, and I think they cost less than before !

One year on, they are still as bright as ever



by:

I used four of these sealed led lights to replace the clearance lights that came on my Shorelander boat trailer. The hole spacing fit the existing holes and the lights have held up very well to over 100 launches and recoveries in salt water. I recommend them.



by:

All the products have been great. They were installed on an older livestock trailer and they just keeping going. The white LED lights we put on the inside work too good. When I first pulled them out I thought they were too small and would do the job. They are so good we rarely use the one up front because the back one does such a great job.
Thanks for the good products.

works great

See what our Experts say about this Peterson Trailer Lights

  • Right Side Trailer Lights Do Not Work, Grounds are Clean
    There are a few things you can check. First, disconnect the trailer and use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the trailer connector just to make sure everything is working fine. If the left side lights are working, chances are the problem is not on the vehicle. But if you do find an issue on the vehicle side then it could be a relay or fuse (consult owner's manual for locations) or a bad ground in the wiring harness. On a lot of trailers, there is a jumper wire from one...

  • LED Trailer Clearance Lights are Dim on One Side of Trailer
    I would recommend checking the running light circuit on your trailer. Specifically, check out the point where the circuit splits to run down each side of the trailer. I would be willing to bet that the 'leg' of the connection that runs down the side of the trailer where the lights are having issues is not completely secure. I would also recommend checking the ground connection point on the trailer. This is usually found on the trailer tongue. Make sure that this connection is securely...

  • Peterson Piranha LED Small Trailer Clearance Light # 168R Recommendation for a 2001 Dodge Truck
    On this Peterson Piranha LED Small Trailer Clearance Light # 168A that you referenced there are two wires for this unit. The yellow wire will be the power wire, whereas the white wire will be the ground wire. In order for this light to illuminate it will need power and a ground to complete the circuit. If you attach power to both of the wires it will not illuminate. You will want to find the rear tail light circuit and tap into that circuit using a Circuit Tester Kit # 40376 to first find...

    There is a diagram on the page, below the bullet points for the Peterson light, # 168A, that shows the center to center hole measurement is 1-15/16 inches. I made a picture for you as well. You may also need a base, # B168-18 or # B168-10.

    The correct mounting base for the Peterson clearance light part # 168A that you referenced is # B168-18. Or for a chrome base you'd want the part # B168-10.
