TEXT:

Our company has developed a lighted side rail for pick-up trucks which we will sell in the aftermarket. Please see enclosed pictures. These rails would be offered in an amber, hot pink and hot yellow. They would not be exposed directly to the rear as the mounting fixtures which contain the source light are opague. Our installation literature would caution against mounting on the cab roof or on the tailgate or front rail where they could be exposed directly to the front or rear. Also we would give i nstructions for seperate fusing of the electrical supply lines.

Would you please comment to me in writing regarding your departments position on compliance on this product.

This is a proprietary product and would appreciate your treatment as such.
