Issue NameNon-Critical Inspection Item - LED Clearance Lamps
Summary of Issue

During a roadside inspection, it was found that the towed vehicle had a rear side marker lamp that was inoperable. The clearance lamp at the rear of the towed vehicle was observed to have three small LEDs on the side that is visible from both the rear and side. At the time of inspection, the driver was given the benefit of the doubt as there is light visible to the rear side. Photos are attached.

Justification or Need

Clarify whether the clearance lamp with LEDs visible to the side will suffice for rear side marker lamps.

Request for Action

Add clarification for this style of clearance lamp into operational policy as to whether or not it is acceptable for rear side marker lamps.
