Side Marker Lights That Can be Used as Turn Signal on Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2016 Keystone Montana High Country fifth wheel. Id like to make my side marker lights flash in conjunction with the blinkers. Is that possible. Also would like to add some sort of additional directional signal to the rear of the camper....no one ever lets me over when driving and I think part of it is due to lack of visibility of the rear turn signals.

You can install clearance/marker lights that flash in conjunction with your turn signals, you'll just need to install lights that have that capability. They are the following lights, and are available in either amber or red:

- Amber: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353A

- Red: Peterson Piranha LED Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Turn Signal # M353R

These are 6" long x 2" wide surface-mounted lights with mounting holes that measure 4-3/4" center-to-center. And while I'm not 100 percent sure what you are referring to by "directional light" there are long strip lights you can install on either side of your trailer to provide more visibility, the 20-1/2" long x 1" tall # STL64RB.

For a mounting bezel for this light, use part # A64BB.
