Marker Lamp: Description and Operation

The front and rear sidemarker lamps will come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Both front and rear sidemarker lamps have reflectors as part of the lamp; they will shine when struck by light, whether or not the vehicle's lamps are on. If the headlamps or parking lamps are off when a turn is signaled, the appropriate front sidemarker lamp will flash in unison with the front turn signal lamp on the same side. If the lamps are on when a turn is signaled, the front sidemarker lamp and front turn signal lamp flash alternately. The rear sidemarker lamps are on the side of the rear taillamps/stop lamps. There are also separate, unlighted sidemarker reflectors at both the front and rear of the vehicle. The front sidemarker reflectors are in the side of the front fascia, just ahead of the front wheels, and the rear sidemarker reflectors are in the rear fascia on the side of the vehicle, just behind the rear wheels.
