    Which are not required when under a trailer as part of a combination vehicle.

    YALL really need to read the FMCSA SAFETY REG BOOK
    ACCORDING TO SECTION 393.17 States that ALL essential lighting on the truck AND trailer must be illuminated and burning. So yes even with the trailer your tractor lights in the rear MUST be on and burning. Section 393.26 Section f will also elaborate on this as well. Diagrams also included!!!.
