Abstract
New electrical circuits for controlling two-color side marker light systems on automotive vehicles are disclosed. There is a different control circuit for vehicles with OEM installed separate amber turn signal lights, OEM installed combination red directional, red brake lights, and OEM installed separate red turn signal lights. These circuits are designed to operate two-color side marker light systems in compliance with NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Standard No. 108. The side marker lights normally illuminate amber and turn red with the OEM brake lights. In the turn signal mode, the signaled side alternates between the OEM directional light color and off, while the non-signaled side is amber and will illuminate red with the brake light. A fourth new circuit for emergency vehicles will illuminate the marker lights red with the brake lights, or when switch activated will flash each side independently between two colors.
