jakebrake86 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I bought 2 new stock filament type lights that were amber on both sides from Mack about a year ago, and after about 8 months I started getting feedback through the dash turn signal indicators from the running lights, and traced it back to the new lights. I got a set of clear LED's off ebay that are amber on the front and red on the back. I wasn't sure about them at first, but I really like them so far.. Please excuse the filthy truck... I've been running pretty hard so far this week.

Maddog13407 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 guess every truck that i have seen in my 31 years is wrong. sorry i was just brought up that you NEVER put a red light facing front and NEVER put an amber light facing rear. just like RED marker lights are a No No in most states. its YOUR truck, do what you want. Macks look good anyways but if you have to look cool, get some of those purple or blue lenses the Paccar guys use Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/page/2/#findComment-159405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh I agree, amber to the front and red to the back.. When I bought my truck, I think the lights were stock, and they were amber on both sides... could have been an add-on though, I'm not sure. Don't the LED's last longer though? I like the fact that you don't have to maintain as strong a connection due to the low amp draw, and they seem to be more vibration resistant.. They sure do cost alot more though.

Lmackattack Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Think super liners used the amber on boths sides and as a bonus some even had the cool marker light on the sides. So when your turn signal was not in use just the side of the signal had a marker light. I always liked those ...

Maddog13407 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 i kinda like the old school lolipop style like i have. the Grote chrome ones.you can even get the ones with 2 wires for 2 filiments so you can hook the one to the parkin light terminal and have running lights Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/page/2/#findComment-159418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 There was a guy in our neck of the woods that bought a powered glider back in the late '80's.When the glider was decked for transport (facing the rear),MACK had spun the turn signals around and made them functional,for the trip.When the glider was completed,they forgot about the red to the rear/amber to the front rule,and the guy got pulled over for not having the turn signals facing the right way! 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Vladislav Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 My country's regulations require amber both sides because it's a color for all front and rear turn lights.When I asked on Watt's a guy told me there are original double amber R-model lights (round) for Australian market.Although I haven't ended up with that guy but ordered turn lights from Watt's online shop. So they are amber with red now. Will tell heart-breaking story to road police in the future or just try to order 2 spare amber lenses. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/page/2/#findComment-159743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank61 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Just ordered the same for my rd. and yes you are correct the rd is amber on both sides. How are yours holding up? Did you have to install a relay of some sort in order to have them flash correctly? Or is it not necessary?

Coenut Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You are legally ok for amber rearward facing turn signals. They have to be functioning as turn signals only. Look at all the tanker trailers. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/page/2/#findComment-276367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

felicello122 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If they are factory amber both sides like the superliner, they didnt light up when the marker lights were on, ony the side lit up. I think the amber/red light up on markers to, thats why the back has to be red. The rds came with amber/amber but only blinked. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29577-turn-signals-led-or-regular/page/2/#findComment-278280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
