Rear Lights for Trucks, Trailers & Commercial Vehicles

What Are Rear Lights?

Rear lights are essential vehicle lighting units fitted to the back of trucks, trailers, vans and commercial vehicles. They help improve visibility, communicate braking and signalling actions, and support compliance with UK road regulations.

Depending on the application, rear lights may be supplied as individual lamps or as multi-function rear combination lights that include stop, tail, indicator, reverse and fog light functions.

Types of Rear Lights

• Rear Combination Lights – multi-function rear lamps for trucks, trailers and commercial vehicles.
• Stop & Tail Lights – provide braking and rear position lighting.
• Rear Indicator Lights – provide clear directional signalling.
• Reverse Lights – improve visibility when manoeuvring backwards.
• Rear Fog Lights – improve rear visibility in fog, rain and poor weather.

LED vs Traditional Rear Lights

LED rear lights are a popular choice for commercial vehicles because they offer bright illumination, low power consumption and long service life. They are also well suited to demanding environments where vibration, weather exposure and regular use can affect traditional bulb lamps.

• Bright and consistent illumination
• Lower power consumption
• Longer operational lifespan
• Improved vibration resistance
• Reduced maintenance requirements

Choosing the Right Rear Lights

When choosing rear lights, it is important to match the lamp to your vehicle type, voltage, mounting position and required lighting functions.

• Vehicle type — truck, trailer, van, recovery vehicle or agricultural machinery
• Voltage — 12V or 24V
• Lighting function — stop, tail, indicator, reverse or fog
• Mounting position and dimensions
• Connector and wiring compatibility
• LED or traditional bulb technology

Where Are Rear Lights Used?

• Trucks & HGVs – rear combination lights, fog lights and indicators
• Trailers – rear lamps for towing, signalling and visibility
• Vans & LCVs – replacement rear lights for commercial fleets
