lights for safety

[MF 1532]

I have found and purchased some new lights I found in my Trucklite catalog , at my truck parts store . P.N. 30286Y , a 2 1/2 '' self contained flashing L.E.D. yellow marker light . It looks great mounted on fel pedastals , ( facing out to the side ) when on road at night or moving snow . P.N. 33050R3 , a 3/4 '' L.E.D. red marker light , very small , very bright , good tail markers . Both of these lights are small , bright , inexpensive . They come in red or amber , with pigtail . If you notice some newer semi-trailers are using this 3/4 '' marker , very small , very bright , D.O.T. approved . If someone can't see you with your factory flashers and a couple of these lights on they never will ...

Sounds good...I think I'd want those lights on the back of the tractor too, especially on the road.
Got 'em wired up yet? Post some pics.

I just checked out the website. There are many lighting and safety accessories available on the website that would definitely be a positive addition to tractors. :thumbsup: And the prices are fair and not too expensive. Thanks for posting.

Sorry , Roy , I have them on , but no pics . I can fabricate , wire , paint , drive , eat , breathe , sleep .... but haven't learned the art of posting pictures maybe some day . The lights are great . The 3/4 '' red markers are so small to be so bright . They only require a 3/4 '' hole to grommet mount . I made the brackets out of 1/8 '' steel stock . The 2 1/2 '' amber flashers mount in grommet , brackets puchased through Trucklite .

Sounds good ... you may have to check them during snow removal as LED light don't produce heat to keep themselves clear of snow.

yes , I own a tractor trailer parts store and that has always been a draw back of LED's for stop tal turn marker lights .

Yes, LED don't melt snow. The city found that out here when they installed LED bulbs on traffic lights! They are hard to see when they are full of wind blown snow!:shocked:
