Anderson V856 LED Trailer Tail Light, Right Side, Low-Profile Submersible, Replaces 456-Series, Fits Trailers 80 Inches Wide and Over

The Anderson V856 is a low-profile, submersible LED trailer tail light that combines the stop, turn, and tail functions in a single housing, with an integral, dedicated side marker diode built in. It uses solid state LED construction, meaning there are no bulbs to break or burn out, and the diodes are rated for 100,000 hours of use. The housing is fully sealed with potted circuitry, protecting the internal electronics against moisture, corrosion, and vibration, so the light can be mounted in submersible boat trailer applications without risk of water intrusion.

This is the right-side light in the pairing; the left-side counterpart is sold separately as the Anderson V856L. Together they are also offered pre-packaged in the Anderson 947 low-profile rear lighting kit. The V856 is built for trailers 80 inches wide and over and exceeds all DOT rear lighting requirements for that width class. It is designed to directly replace older 456-series incandescent trailer lights, drawing lower amperage than incandescent bulbs while delivering consistent output. Carriage mounting bolts are included for installation, and the lens is a red polycarbonate lens for durability against impact and UV exposure.
