Wiring for Clearance and Turn Signal Functions with Clear Lens 2 Wire LED Light

Question:

Do they make this light with Amber LED with a clear lens with clearance light with turn signal MCL11CAKB Similar to this model but with a third wire for turn?

The GloLight Uni-Lite LED Clearance or Side Marker Light with Grommet - Turn - Round - Amber Lens # MCL121AK9PVG will work as both a clearance light as well as a turn signal. The Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Clear Lens - Amber # MCL11CAKB you pointed out is the closest to that light with the dual function in a clear lens. We unfortunately do not have the 3 wire light with the clear lens you are seeking.

To get the features you are seeking with that clear light, you can use a 2-to-3 converter to isolate your turn signal from the brake light on your trailer. Then use a diode like # RM-690 to splice into your running light signal after its diode # RM-690. I've attached a diagram to assist. Because of the functions, you need the diodes to prevent feedback on your wiring. It would be much more ideal to have the 3 wire option with clear lens, but because that isn't made this is your only option for utilizing that similar light which does make that amber lens option with 3 wires look a little better.
