CYCLE COUNTRY ACCESSORIES CORPORATION is working on a new safety light that works in conjunction with the tail lights found on the back of Tractor-Trailers, and Straight Trucks. The light is in a diamond shape 15 1/2" x 15 1/2". The light is positioned at the top of the back doors. As you turn the turn signal right there will be a yellow arrow in the light that will point right. Turn the signal on left and a yellow arrow points left. Put your brake light on and 4 red lights come on. Put your emergency flasher on and the 4 red lights will light up and flash. I have enclosed pictures for your viewing.

We are wanting to know if this type of light is legal to run in all of the United States?

Please contact me with your ruling.

If you have any questions please contact me at 1-800-841-2222.

Looking forward to your response.
