Peterson Fluid Back Up Light

Peterson Fluid Back Up Lights: Built for Reliability When It Matters Most

When you're maneuvering a trailer in a crowded lot, backing a boat down a ramp, or reversing a work truck in low-light conditions, a dependable back up light isn't optional — it's essential. Peterson Fluid offers back up light solutions engineered for durability, consistent output, and straightforward installation across a wide range of trailer and vehicle applications.

Sealed, Waterproof Construction

One of the defining features of Peterson Fluid's back up lights is their sealed, waterproof housing. Moisture is no match for these fully sealed trailer lights — the housing and lens are waterproof, making them ideal for trailers that may see rain, spray, or even full submersion, keeping water out that could corrode wiring or shorten bulb life. This makes them a go-to choice for boat trailers, utility trailers, and any rig that regularly encounters wet or harsh environments.

Premium Bulb Technology for Long Service Life

Peterson Fluid back up lights are engineered with longevity in mind. They feature an extra-wide, spin-welded, tongue-and-groove lens lip and waterproof seal, high-performance copper alloy conductors to eliminate wire failure, a state-of-the-art bulb design with three supports for the minor filament and two supports for the major filament for long bulb life, and a wedge-base socket that prevents premature bulb failure. The result is a light that keeps working shift after shift without demanding constant attention.

Complete Kit Configurations

Peterson Fluid back up lights are available in convenient kit configurations that include everything needed for a clean installation. Clear back up light kits include the light, grommet, and plug — with a 4" round sealed light that functions as both a back-up and utility light. The Peterson back up light mounts flush using the included grommet and 2-wire plug, with one lead providing power and the other ground, keeping wiring straightforward — and the recessed-mount setup protects the light from bumps while making it easy to replace an existing unit.

LED Options Available

For those who want modern efficiency alongside proven reliability, Peterson Fluid also offers LED back up light options. LED models feature Lumenx® lens and circuitry, are assembled in the USA, offer a wide 9–32 volt operating range compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles, and use a regulated design that provides voltage protection and consistent light output — with a single light meeting FMVSS 108 requirements when properly mounted.

DOT-Compliant Performance

Compliance and quality go hand in hand with Peterson Fluid lighting. Their lighting products not only meet DOT regulatory standards but exceed them by 25% — and Peterson has been ISO 9001/QS 9000 certified since 1995, being the very first U.S. manufacturer in the industry to achieve this important registration. That level of commitment to standards translates directly into confidence on the road.

Whether you're outfitting a new trailer build or replacing a worn-out unit, Peterson Fluid back up lights deliver the sealed durability, easy installation, and dependable illumination that working drivers and trailer owners rely on.
