The centre of a side marker light must not be more than 150mm from the nearer side of the vehicle. A front side marker light fitted to a motor vehicle must be fitted— towards the front of the side of the vehicle; and with no part of the lens visible to the vehicle’s driver. The centre of a front side marker light fitted to a trailer must be— within 300mm of the front of the side of the trailer; or if the construction of the trailer makes it impracticable to comply with paragraph (a) —as near as practicable to the front of the side of the trailer. The centre of a rear side marker light fitted to a vehicle must be— within 300mm of the rear of the side of the vehicle; or if the construction of the vehicle makes it impracticable to comply with paragraph (a) —as near as practicable to the rear of the side of the vehicle. Side marker lights fitted to a vehicle must, as far as practicable, be evenly spaced along the side of the vehicle. Subsections (2) to (5) do not apply to a side marker light fitted to a cross-bar or bolster of a pole-type trailer. If complying with subsections (3) and (4) would result in front and rear side marker lights being less than 2.5m apart, only the side marker lights nearest to the rear of a vehicle need be fitted. A side marker light fitted to a vehicle must be fitted— with its centre at least 600mm above ground level; and with its centre not more than— 1.5m above ground level; or if it is not practicable to fit it in accordance with subparagraph (i) —2.1m above ground level; and as far as practicable, in a row of side marker lights along the side of the vehicle. Subsection (8) (b) does not apply to a side marker light that is not required to be fitted to the vehicle by section 90 .
