Signature 12" Amber LED Side Marker Light – 18 SMD, Smoked Lens
18 SMD LEDs. Amber Illumination. Smoked Lens. Signature Series Styling.
Bring distinctive exterior lighting to compatible commercial trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, and specialty vehicles with Kaper II's Signature 12" Amber LED Side Marker Light.
Featuring eighteen surface-mounted device (SMD) LEDs, amber illumination, and an elongated 12-inch profile, this lamp combines modern LED technology with Signature Series styling.
The smoked lens gives the lamp a darkened appearance when unlit, while the amber LEDs provide the specified illumination color during operation.
Its surface/screw-mount configuration offers an installation approach for compatible vehicle mounting surfaces.

Signature Series Design
Kaper II's Signature Series provides distinctive lighting configurations for commercial and recreational vehicles.
This model features a nominal 12-inch profile that offers a different appearance from smaller conventional side marker lights.
The elongated shape and smoked lens can complement compatible vehicle body styling and other Signature Series lighting products.
Eighteen SMD LEDs
This lamp incorporates eighteen SMD LEDs.
Surface-mounted device technology uses compact LED components installed on a circuit board.
The eighteen-diode configuration is an important identifying specification when comparing this product with other Signature Series lamps.
LED count alone does not establish brightness, power consumption, or regulatory compliance.
These characteristics depend on the complete electrical and optical design and should be verified through manufacturer technical documentation.
Smoked Lens with Amber Illumination
One of this lamp's defining characteristics is the combination of a smoked lens and amber LED illumination.
The smoked lens provides a darker appearance when the lamp is not energized.
When activated, the LEDs produce the specified amber light output.
This distinction is important for both customer selection and catalog accuracy because lens appearance and illumination color are separate attributes.
The smoked lens designation does not independently establish the lamp's brightness or photometric performance.
Amber Side Marker Function
This product is specifically identified as a side marker light.
Amber side marker lamps are commonly used toward the front portion of trucks, trailers, and other vehicles to indicate their presence and side profile.
However, the correct installation position, orientation, and required lighting performance depend on the vehicle configuration and applicable regulations.
The supplied description does not establish a separate clearance-light function, so the lamp should not automatically be categorized as a combination clearance and side marker light.
Surface/Screw-Mount Installation
The lamp is identified as surface/screw-mounted.
This configuration indicates that the lamp is intended to mount against a compatible vehicle surface using a screw-secured installation method.
The supplied description does not establish the exact fastener type, mounting-hole spacing, number of screws, or whether mounting hardware is included.
These details should be verified before installation.
Potential Applications
Commercial Trucks: Amber side marker lighting for compatible approved vehicle positions.
Trailers: Side marker applications requiring the appropriate lamp function and mounting configuration.
RVs and Motorhomes: Exterior amber side marker lighting for qualifying recreational vehicle applications.
Specialty Vehicles: Side marker lighting for compatible utility, service, and custom-built vehicles.
OEM Vehicle Manufacturers: A potential lighting component for vehicle assembly programs specifying the appropriate amber side marker function.
Installation Considerations
Before installation, verify the lamp's operating voltage, wiring configuration, mounting dimensions, and approved lighting function.
Confirm that the mounting surface accommodates the lamp's surface/screw-mount design.
Verify that the intended installation position and orientation meet applicable vehicle lighting requirements.
Protect electrical connections against moisture, vibration, and mechanical damage.
Do not assume that this side marker lamp also provides clearance, turn signal, or identification-light functions unless those capabilities are confirmed by the manufacturer.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable vehicle lighting regulations.
