4.5 Trailer Lights and Reflectors
Trailer lights perform a valuable and necessary function, but they occasionally
breakdown or malfunction. All Ver-Mac trailers come equipped with:
•
brake lights
•
tail lights
•
turn signals (left and right)
•
marker and clearance lights
Marker lights enhance the visibility of the trailer at night. They are positioned on the
sides of the trailer frame (amber toward the front and red to the rear).
As well, three (3) red clearance lights are in the center of the back bar on trailers wider
than 80″ (203cm).
NOTE
Check that the plug on the tow vehicle matches the trailer wiring end plug on the
trailer.
CAUTION
Always test all trailer lights before towing.
Make sure wiring is properly installed and secured to trailer to prevent
it from hanging and catching on any road debris.
4.5.1 Replacement Light Bulbs
Make sure that any replacement light bulbs are 12V DC.
