A 3 light bar like the Peterson Thin-Line Red Identification Light Bar # 136-3R does have height requirements of between 15 and 72 inches from the ground. If you are using them as rear clearance lights for the top of your trailer, then there is only the requirement of being the same height above the ground as other clearance lights and as high as possible on the trailer.

I've attached an article on trailer lighting requirements to help.
