Side lighting
Side lighting improves lateral visibility of the vehicle, especially at night or in low-light conditions. It is essential for traffic safety and legal compliance on long vehicles.
Side lighting ensures that trucks, trailers and commercial vehicles are clearly visible from the side. This is especially critical for vehicles with long wheelbases or wide profiles, where standard front and rear lighting does not provide enough coverage. In darkness, rain or fog, side lights outline the full shape of the vehicle and help prevent collisions.
These lights are typically mounted along the frame, trailer edges or fenders. Available in various shapes and voltages, they commonly use amber coloring and LED technology for superior brightness, durability, and low power usage. Some models also function as marker lights or turn signals depending on configuration.
Properly functioning side lights are not only essential for safety, but often legally required. Non-compliance can result in fines or failed inspections — not to mention added risk on the road.
