Where Are Clearance Lights on Semi Truck?

The clearance lights of a semi truck are essential to ensuring the safety of the vehicle, its passengers, and other motorists. Clearance lights help other vehicles recognize the size and shape of your truck by illuminating the area surrounding it.

This alert other drivers that you are driving a large vehicle and to be aware of your presence on the road.

Clearance lights should be mounted on the top of a semi truck, near or around the roof line. These lights can either be mounted on brackets or small poles depending on their size and type. Most clearance lights will have two mounting points that will require screws or bolts to secure them into place.

When installing clearance lights, it is important to ensure they are wired correctly so they work properly. The majority of these lights are wired in such a way that when headlights are turned on, they will automatically come on as well. This ensures that when visibility is low outside, your clearance lights will still be seen by other drivers.

It is also important to check your clearance lights regularly for any signs of damage or wear and tear. If you notice any broken bulbs or cracked lenses then these should be replaced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could result in reduced visibility which could lead to an accident.

Conclusion

Clearance lights are an essential part of any semi truck and should always be kept in good working order for optimal visibility on the road. These should be installed at the top of the truck near or around the roof line and checked regularly for any signs of damage or wear & tear. By doing this, you can ensure that other drivers can easily identify your vehicle from far away.
