Grote 46282 Aluminum Red Clearance Marker Lamp
The Grote 46282 is a rectangular clearance marker lamp with a red acrylic lens and an aluminum housing. It uses incandescent lighting technology and mounts via a bracket and grommet system. The lamp features a Seal-Tight expanded rubber gasket for weather resistance. It is designed for permanent installation on vehicles and equipment requiring FMVSS 108 compliance.
Replaces damaged or non-compliant incandescent
Upgrade when an existing clearance light has a cracked lens, corroded housing, or failed gasket allowing moisture ingress. The jump is worth it if the current lamp draws more than 0.33 A or lacks the SAE P2 and PC lens codes required for legal operation. It restores proper side and rear visibility marking without changing the vehicle wiring harness.
Sustained load behavior
Under continuous operation the incandescent bulb maintains steady 0.33 A current draw and consistent light output. The aluminum housing and Seal-Tight gasket dissipate heat and block water during extended duty cycles. The blunt-cut wire connection remains secure without vibration-induced loosening. The single-bulb design avoids the flicker points common in multi-bulb arrays over long periods.

Questions about this item
What bracket and grommet dimensions does the 46282 lamp need for a secure mount?
The lamp uses a rectangular bracket-and-grommet mount; the housing measures 5 1/8 in wide by 2 1/8 in high, so the mounting surface must accommodate those overall dimensions.
How are the blunt-cut wires connected, and what is the common wiring mistake?
The lamp draws 0.33 A and ships with blunt-cut wires for permanent installation; the step often missed is sealing each splice with heat-shrink or butt connectors to maintain the Seal-Tight gasket's water resistance.
When should the incandescent bulb be replaced, and what spec must the new bulb meet?
Replace the single bulb when light output drops below FMVSS 108 visibility requirements; the replacement must match the original SAE P2 PC lens code and 0.33 A draw to keep the lamp compliant.
