Petty4life · Apr 18, 2010

I should know the answer to this but right now i cant think of it.

I just installed the red light in pic as a marker lihgt on the outside of the back of the trailer, behind the wheel facing out i have mounted an amber marker light my question is, is this light ok to be amber where it is behind the wheel or does it meed to be red?101idea101

As a side marker, amber is okay.

On my trailer, the side markers fwd of wheel well are amber and rear of wheel wells is red. Each wheel well themselves has 1 amber and 1 red.

Similiar to mine but the behind the wheel marker is facing toward the rear, not the side. If it is facing the rear, I believe it is read for vehicles approaching from the rear.

Exactly, the amber face fwd and the red faces to the rear, and the rest of the markers are true side markers.

Jason,

I was browsing for some marker lights for my camper and found this white light bar.

Tied into your trailer back up wire, this might cast a good amount of light behind the boat.

Jason, The lite aft of the wheel on my trailer is red. When approaching from the rear should be able to see red including the back of the wheel area. Fwd of the wheel transitions over to amber.
