Conestoga trailer lighting violations and citations question

Top marker lights aren't required I'm pretty sure

 

Incorrect. If you HAVE a light, it is supposed to work, if its not there, its not required to work (excepting required lighting, so front (amber) and rearmost (red) clearance lights, min 3 rear lights(red), minimum of 2 rearmost brake and tail lights. Center turn and marker lights (amber)

Whine all you want, its trivial to run new wire as long as you dont use indoor connectors and it will last 3 years unless the driver is a moron and messes with the wires.

 

As I posted earlier, take a look at pictures of other roll tops and you will see the majority of them are lighted just like yours. The top lights aren’t required and if the bracket and everything is gone then you can’t get in trouble for not having a light that isn’t required in the first place. Most roll tops have a light on the front corner like yours and don’t have a front/side marker light or whatever you’re calling it. As long as you have a center turn and rear corner you’re fine. If you don’t want to work then just be honest about it instead of trying to create issues that aren’t there.

 

Keep in mind that you’re pulling a flatbed, not a curtain van. And yes some factory lights do have to be removed in order to put the tracks on each side for the roll top.

 

Didn’t read all the posts
But getting a running light to work is pretty simple stuff

Just have the boss fix his sh&t

I have a 53’ conestoga
5 lights factory each side
Markers across the top bulkhead and corners
Markers on lower bulkhead corners

All work

 

The issue is it’s a Ryder trailer and they removed all but the required lighting, as in bracket and everything is gone according to the OP. And he’s trying to say that there are two lights missing on the front corners that aren’t required to be there. So he’s not wanting to pull the trailer until the lights are put back where they used to be on the top corners and he wants what’s he’s calling a front/side marker light on the bottom front corner.

 

Thanks for clarifying
Just skimmed over the posts
