What does clearance light mean?

Here is the relevant introduction about clearance lights: 1. A clearance light is a warning light used to alert other vehicles. 2. Clearance lights are located at the outermost edges of the front and rear of the vehicle. Large trucks also have clearance lights on the roof and sides. Installed along the top edges of the vehicle, these lights indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. 3. Requirements for the number, configuration, layout, color, installation position, and circuit connections of clearance lights. Without altering the existing connection method, adding a red light distribution surface to the back of the front clearance light can incorporate the function of a rear clearance light. This approach eliminates the need for new installation positions on the cab and saves costs.
Before every drive, I always check the position lights, which are actually the small lights on the sides and roof of the car. They are especially crucial when driving at night. These position lights outline the entire vehicle's silhouette in the dark, allowing drivers in the opposite lane to see my car in advance. If I encounter heavy rain or fog on the highway, my first reaction is to turn on the position lights, and they work even better when paired with fog lights. Once, my friend's pickup truck broke down at night, and it was the position lights that alerted the cars behind. In fact, these lights function somewhat like the reflective strips on a traffic police vest, specifically addressing the 'I can't see you' problem. I recommend having the wiring checked by a mechanic during every maintenance service, and if a bulb burns out, remember to replace it with an LED one—it's more durable.
