Stay compliant with Truckstop Group
Marker lights play an important role in helping other road users judge the size and position of commercial vehicles, especially at night or in poor visibility. On trucks and trailers, they are commonly fitted along the sides, at the front and rear, and at extremities to clearly define vehicle dimensions.
LED technology has become the standard for marker lighting due to its reliability and efficiency. LED marker lights illuminate instantly, consume less power and typically last far longer than traditional bulb-based alternatives. Many designs are fully sealed to protect against water ingress, road debris and vibration, making them well suited to long-term commercial use.
When selecting LED marker lights, factors such as colour, mounting style and voltage compatibility are essential. Road-going marker lights must meet regulatory requirements and be correctly positioned to remain compliant. Incorrect colour placement or spacing can lead to compliance issues during inspections.
Truckstop Group stocks marker lights suitable for both replacement and new installations, supporting operators, bodybuilders and workshops with dependable lighting solutions that meet real-world demands.
