Essential lights
The essential lights for any machine include front and rear lights, markers and indicators. These lights are often brand-specific and are usually built into the machine. Depending on which country you’re in, some of these lights are even mandatory.

Rear lights
Rear lights make sure the vehicles following you know you’re there. Red lights are used because they are the most visible in all weather conditions. By incorporating indicator lights, rear lights also serve a second important function: they inform nearby drivers and pedestrians when the vehicle is going to change direction. Some rear lights have a single function, others combine multiple features, including a rear light, stop light, indicator light, reverse light, fog light and even number-plate lighting.
Front lights
Front lights serve two important purposes: they make sure the vehicle is visible, and they ensure the driver can see where they’re going. Using a bulb, mirror and lens, they illuminate the surface in front of the vehicle. When dimmed, the beam of the headlights is directed downwards to prevent blinding the drivers of oncoming vehicles.
Many vehicles have front lights built in. However, they are also able to be installed later. Available in different shapes, models and technologies, some front lights only perform one function, whereas others serve multiple purposes. Our range includes models equipped with an indicator light, parking light, dimmed headlight, high-beam headlight, or a combination of these.
Indicator lights
Indicator lights increase safety: they warn other drivers and pedestrians when the vehicle is going to change direction. Available in different shapes, sizes and dimensions, indicator lights are designed to draw attention in any situation. Our range includes combination lights that consist of indicator lights and a continuously lit marker light. We also offer ‘two-sided illumination’ indicator lights. The major advantage of these is that people can see you from two sides of the vehicle.
Marker lights
Marker lights inform nearby people of the length and width of a vehicle, and its potential load. They are attached to the side of the vehicle and to a potential load or trailer. Some models are able to be used on both sides of the vehicle; these are mainly orange side markers. In addition, there are also models available with a rubber centre section. The red and white lenses can be exchanged and mounted on both sides. The lights are mounted with screws, either with a rubber spacer or without (depending on the design of the light). We offer both LED marker lights and marker lights with incandescent bulbs.
Number-plate lights
Vehicles need to be identifiable at all times. Number-plate lights help make this possible. They can be installed as separate parts or incorporated in the rear light. Whenever the high-beam headlights, dimmed headlights, parking lights, fog lights or rear lights are lit, the number-plate light must be too. Our range includes both LED models and models that require incandescent bulbs. It’s important to note that number-plate lights are not able to illuminate the side of the vehicle or the area behind the vehicle.
