Driving with a burned-out side marker light or impaired visibility due to fading headlights is unsafe.

They are positioned in front of the front wheel or behind the rear wheel on the side of the body, and their attachment can vary depending on the vehicle type. Side marker lights may illuminate with the headlights, blink with directionals, or perform both functions
