To replace your Peterson M421R light you'll need the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # M421R. This installs with a simple plug in the back so the installation itself should be pretty easy to do. Just be sure to unplug your trailer wiring prior to backing into the water next time.
The submersible rating on the light means the light won't be ruined if it touches water, but you still need to disconnect the power since water can short circuit the light.
