I had a truck pass me tonight with a brand new shiny trailer that must of had 500 lights on it but oddly enough, didn't have directional signals.Do you think he got a defective trailer from the factory?

Nah, after putting all that crap on there, he was too tired to flip that little lever.

Agree.....lol!
Some guys get crazy with the chicken lights..
Imagine what all of those LED lights cost!
Some trucks look really good with them but some really over do it....

Ya, there is a happy medium to be had.

It has nothing to do with amount of lights on trailer--obviously you haven't purchased a new vehicle in a while--Turn signals have been an option on vehicles for the last 10years at least! By the time most people(cars-trucks-motorcycle-boat-etc)get done adding xm radio--dvd--heated feetwarmers--gps-moon and sunroofs--there is just no money left!

The last 10 years? It's been more years than that since blinkers were standard equipment!

I will agree that there is a point where it gets to be too much with the extra lights. I've seen some really nice set ups with just enough extra lights. I like the idea of extra lights, since it does add to the visibility of the truck and trailer.
That being said, that means you have that many more lights that you have to make sure are working! -
In Massachusetts, using turn signals gives away your plan to the enemy.

Prob cant figure out why if he hits the blinker the right or left side flashes
Mr Ed, FLATBED and Flying Dutchman Thank this. -
Half of the GLITTERMOBILERS have no CLUE of where they are going , so no reason to use the BLINKERS and let you know.
And 500 lites way too many , I draw the line at 499 not 1 bulb more.'olhand and Flying Dutchman Thank this. -
