Amber sidelights

[PDR]

Great idea………



Until someone pulls out in front of you and then says “I’m sure you where indicating left as I saw an orange light on the front of your truck”.

There is a good reason why we don’t use the American orange running lights in the UK…. It can confuse other drivers!!!!!!

Pah, I would have done it the hard way by drilling the back of the assembly to take a bunch of 10mm amber LEDs...

Lamps required by Regulations to be fitted to a vehicle to indicate its presence and width when viewed from the front.
They must show a steady white light to the front, or a yellow light, if incorporated in a headlamp which emits yellow light.
The light must be visible from a reasonable distance.
On vehicles fitted with dim-dip headlamp systems, the front position lamps must be checked for operation with the ignition switched off. This may involve the operation of a separate switch.
