Marker lights

[Twincam Escort]

Ive been out polishing again and noticed that my moho is blessed with 6 led marker lights.
I cant recall seeing them on and I am not sure how to turn them on, or even if they work.
Are they just supposed to be an indication of the length and height of my bus thereby should come on and go off with the headlights?
I thought they were reflectors until I looked closer.

They could be just reflectors.

If they are indeed lights rather than reflectors then yes they should come on with you lights.

Defo lights.
Do you think they should only come on with the headlights then? Rather than just side lights.
I will check later now I know.

Not sure, but worth trying headlights.

They will properly come on with side lights.

Have you checked the manual ?

Should come on with sidelights but on a previous van (2014 Peugeot Boxer, you could not switch the sidelights on independently of the headlights i.e. only two position switch either off or head and side on together.

There will be people that say different ..... But last MOT centre said the base vehicle lights had to work and reflectors on sides for certain length etc.... Didn't think MH added lights had to illuminate for MOT and I went to great effort to make my over cab upper lights work at the front!

The white front lamp and red rear lamp on one side of the vehicle may be combined into a single lamp with a single light source.

Just been out to check and all 8 markers are working on both side lights and headlights.
2 white high up at front, 4 amber at side and 2 red high up at rear.
Like a xmas tree.

I have similar marker lights and the work off the lights AND are reflectors

I believe the amber side lights are required by law if van is longer than 6m if this is so then they will be required to work for it's MOT.
