TRUE MODS 2pc 2.5" Amber LED Trailer Marker Light w/Black Bezel [DOT FMVSS 108] [SAE P2PC] [Surface Mount] [Waterproof IP67] Side Marker Lights for Trailer Truck

  • STAY ON BUDGET - PC rated clearance lights are better. They produce a 180-degree arc of light, and when installed on the 45-degree corner of a truck or trailer, function as both a clearance and side marker light. Two for the price of one.
  • MINIMIZE DOWNTIME - The self-grounding bezel cuts wiring time in half by eliminating the need for a ground wire. It also reduces the amount of drilling required. One 1/4? hole is all that is needed to run the included power wire and bullet connector.
  • COMPLETE PROTECTION - Unlike other clearance lights, our lights are equipped with 3 high-visibility LED to increase safety and reduce accidents. And thanks to an IP67 waterproof rating, they will keep you visible and safe even in the worst weather.
  • MAXIMIZE UPTIME - Finding blown marker lights on a pre-trip inspection can mean the loss of valuable time on the road. By switching to long-lasting amber LED lights you reduce failures, minimize service times, and keep your schedule running smoothly.
