There are some restrictions regarding what is approved and what isn’t. Stick with the manufacturer’s recommendation if you don’t know. But whatever you do make sure they are in working order and you can see where you’re heading.

Right Truck mirrors will increase your visibility
There are so many things people just don’t think about. I already mentioned tires, lights, and actually even your mirrors.
You ever borrow a friend’s car or rent a truck, hop in, and drive off just to realize you forgot to adjust the mirrors?
This problem is even worse with a commercial truck and trailer. Unlike a car you can’t simply look out the back window to see if it’s clear.
Good mirrors are essential in everything from driving cross country to backing up to the dock. So make sure you have the right ones and you keep them clear of dirt and snow.

There are many rules that regulate the trucking industry. Lights are no exception. Of course you have state laws and city ordinances to contend with, in additional to federal law.
