Vignal lighting for trucks and trailers
Vignal is a French lighting manufacturer supplying a range of truck and trailer lighting products for the European commercial vehicle market. Their product range covers rear combination lamps, side marker lights, interior cab lighting, reversing lights and LED conversion products for truck and trailer applications. Vignal products are OE fitment on a number of European trailer manufacturers and are widely stocked in the independent trailer workshop and parts supply sector.
For trailer lighting, the rear combination lamp is the most commonly replaced component. Vignal rear lights are available in both incandescent and LED configurations; LED lamps are increasingly preferred for their longer service life, lower current draw and improved visibility. When replacing a rear combination lamp, confirm the number of functions (stop, tail, indicator, fog, reverse), the connection type and the housing dimensions match the existing lamp aperture in the trailer corner panel.

Frequently asked questions
Are Vignal LED lights a direct replacement for incandescent trailer lamps?
Vignal LED replacement lamps are designed to fit the same housings and use the same connections as the incandescent lamps they replace. The main consideration is load compatibility with the trailer's lighting circuit; some older trailer wiring systems use load-sensitive flasher units that may need replacing or adjusting when all lamps are converted to LED due to the reduced current draw. Confirm this before fitting LED lamps to avoid fast-flash or non-flash indicator faults.
What rear combination lamp functions are required on a UK trailer?
UK trailers must be fitted with rear stop lights, tail lights, direction indicators, a rear fog lamp (at least one) and a reversing lamp. Rear combination lamps typically incorporate stop, tail and indicator functions in a single housing. Rear fog and reverse lamps may be combined or separate depending on the trailer design. All lamps must meet the relevant ECE regulation approval for the function they perform.
Are Vignal marker lights available for trailer side marking?
Yes. Vignal supplies side marker lights for trailer applications. Side markers are required on trailers over 6 metres in length under UK lighting regulations and must be amber in colour. LED side markers are a popular choice for their durability and low current draw on long trailer runs with multiple marker lights per side.
