The
“EPLLA” mandate for Under 80” Wide (Single) Vehicle
Brake/Turn Signals is only 7-3/4 in˛ compared to 11-5/8
in˛ for Over 80” Vehicles. Considering this … most Trailer,
RV, and Trucking OEM’s … as well as Aftermarket and OEM Lighting Suppliers …
must ask themselves … “Why would we consider buying and inventorying
legally, Compliant 7 or 3-Function* under 80” Lighting Assemblies
that have only 7-3/4 in˛ of “EPLLA” qualifying Lens area when
we know we are also being required to buy and warehouse
11-5/8in˛ “EPLLA” Lensed Area Lamps. This kind of “Two Sized”
7 and 3-Function* Inventory approach doesn’t save much money, and
greatly complicates inventories, and therefore is simply not practical
for most OEM and Aftermarket Suppliers to consider! Logical conclusion!
… all Brake/Turn Signals inventoried should have a minimum of 11-5/8in˛
of “EPLLA”.
*That
is, the popular 6” Ovals and 4” Round 3 Function “Big Rig”
Type Lights, both of which have ≈ 12in˛ EPLLA’s when no reflector area is
used
