Side Marker Light
About Side Marker Light
Side marker light doesn’t refer to a single light. It refers to the lights that are present in the front and rear upper light. There are two upper lights in the front and rear and it is white colour in the front and red at the rear end. Therefore, they are a group of lights. These lights help the other drivers or pedestrians to know that there is a car so that they can be cautious and avoid accidents. Side marker lights are also present on the top of the car and sides of huge trucks. Side markers consist of one, single-element bulb, that is encased in a socket and small frame. The frame is fixed directly to the front fender and rear quarter panel of the vehicle with the help of screws or snap retainers.
What is the purpose?
Side marker lights act as auxiliary safety lights, which other drivers can see when turning on the headlights. The light bulbs used to illuminate an automotive's exterior must be extremely durable. If they are robust they can withstand strong vibrations, temperature changes, and potential element exposure. The working side marker light bulbs should always be kept to ensure that you are protected from sideswipe impacts. These were originally incandescent and susceptible to breakage when the side marker light bulbs were replaced along with all other exterior bulbs. This might be a similar kind of sensitive lighting system that you may be using at home.
How It Works?
Extra illumination is provided by the side marker lights at night and during times of poor visibility so as to help other drivers and pedestrians see the vehicle. These side marker lights are standard equipment that is present in buses, trailers, cars, trucks and some work and utility vehicles.
