Or a horse truck...

Were 100% LEDS inside and out of our horse wagons.

Why? Safety and were 53' all stainless steel trailers lights are a must.

When I owned car haulers I had a lot of lights down the side of the trailer. It sure made it easier to back into a hole when it was really dark and I was tired. It made it much easier to see where I was backing. More importantly, it made it much easier for other drivers to see my truck. :thumbsup:

Something else I see every week that will get you a ticket is amber tail lights or stop lamps, amber turn signals are OK if they are only lit as turn signals.

"(c) Prohibition on the use of amber stop lamps and tail lamps. No commercial motor vehicle may be equipped with an amber stop lamp, a tail lamp, or other lamp which is optically combined with an amber stop lamp or tail lamp."

How many is to many?

I tell ya what, some of those mobile parking garages have a lot of chicken lights. :eek2: It's pretty bad when you can light up both sides of the highway. :lol:

I vote BEER!!!!!

Beer's good but back to the original question, "What is the Point of Having Too Many Tractor & Trailer Lights??? "

Some people are pleased with the appearance of a truck with a lot of lights and they also probably have a lot of chrome and polished aluminum and usually these people are very meticulous about the total look and condition of their truck.

My point is that everybody is different. Some people iron their boxers and some don't. Some people polish their shoes and some don't. Some people like broccoli and some don't.

The actual point of the lights is only truly known to the person that put them on there.

As for me, I don't drive any more but when I did, I liked trucks that were simple, stock and usually the older the better but in good repair.

today a customer said to me "boy,your truck sure looks a lot nicer than that crap **** has been sending in here"
and that is why I have chrome and lights

Here's the deal: when the day comes that they actually pay me more per mile for having superfluous chrome or lights, that is the day I get 'em!

I was thinking about this thread while driving home tonight, I always like to have an extra light in case one goes out. Like having 2 brake lights per side and 2 signal lights per side, etc. Makes me think that if I get stopped with one out I can tell the guy "well it was working when I left, but I installed 2 just in case", probably wouldn't get me out of a ticket though.

I tell ya, IF the lights are done correctly, they look good. As far as I'm concerned, there should be a marker light at 4ft intervals down the trailer and a minimum of 2 signal lights on the side.

As soon as my new tailer is delivered, you all are probably understand why I spec'd it with more lights.
