Position Lights And Side Marker Lights
Position lights help make a vehicle visible to others. This collection includes TYC parking light assemblies, side marker lights and side repeater lights; their locations and functions are not all the same.
Choose the lamp for the vehicle and the location being serviced. A front parking lamp, a side marker and a side repeater may have different housings, connectors and lighting functions even when they sit near one another.
Choosing A Position Light Assembly
Check the side and position, lens appearance, mounting method and light source specified for the application. Some listings include a bulb, while others identify a housing without one; mounting hardware can also be separate.
If a lamp is out or a warning appears, inspect the bulb or light source, socket and connections for the vehicle's design. Moisture or wiring issues may need attention as well as the lamp itself.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is a side marker different from a parking light?
A side marker shows the vehicle's presence from the side, while a parking lamp serves a different position-lighting function at the front. Some vehicle lamps combine functions, so match the assembly and its intended location.
Is a side repeater the same as a steady side marker?
A side repeater is associated with turn signaling; a side marker identifies the vehicle's side position. A vehicle may combine or connect lighting functions differently, so select the part named for its installed function.
Does a position light assembly include its bulb?
Product contents vary. One TYC parking-light assembly lists its halogen bulb as included, while a TYC side marker lists its bulb as not included. Use the details for the selected lamp.
Can I replace a halogen lamp with any LED assembly?
Match the light source, electrical connection and assembly specified for the vehicle. The collection includes different TYC halogen and LED applications, but their presence does not make the assemblies interchangeable.
Why do left and right position lights need separate selection?
Their mounting and lens orientation can be side-specific. A TYC parking light is listed for the front left and a corresponding style for the front right, so select the location named for the affected lamp.
