Question:

Hello. I am looking to replace the incandescent lights on my 20 ft equipment trailer. Considering your Peterson LED kit for over 80 wide trailers, but I dont see any amber marker lights included in the kit. Are the front amber side marker lights a requirement for over 80 width trailers, or not? My trailer currently does not have the front lights, but it is 15 yrs old. Thanks.

Hey Darrell, yeah the correct kit for over 80 inch wide trailers that are less than 30 feet you do need to have a coupler amber lights and reflectors up front like what comes with the part # V944 plus a set of amber clearance lights # MCL95AB which is LED like you are wanting. I am not sure why the kit you referenced doesn't have those included but I will send an update to have that changed.
