LED Autolamps 42AM | Amber Light

ADR Category 5 Amber LED Side Direction Indicator Classic Truck Style, Black Base, Clip-In Lens.

Product Overview

The LED Autolamps 42AM is an amber LED Category 5 side direction indicator lamp in the classic truck style, featuring a black base bracket, polycarbonate clip-in clear lens, and internal amber LEDs. Measuring 74mm x 38mm x 35mm, the 42AM shares the same proven 42 series form factor as the red 42RM rear marker making it a natural companion for consistent lamp styling across trailer, truck, and caravan builds.

ADR approved (CTA042836) for Category 5 side direction indicator use and IP67 rated for complete weatherproof protection, the 42AM operates on both 12V and 24V systems and includes a 16cm cable for straightforward connection. The surface mount black base bracket secures horizontally to the mounting surface, with the amber lens clipping in cleanly for a finished, professional result. Supplied individually in blister packaging and backed by LED Autolamps' 5-year warranty.
