International DuraStar Cab Lights

Frequently Asked Questions About International DuraStar Cab Lights

What are cab lights and why do International DuraStar owners add them?

Cab lights, also called cab marker lights or clearance lights, are the small lights mounted along the roofline of the cab. They improve visibility of your truck's height and profile to other drivers, especially at night or in poor weather, and many owners also add them to give their DuraStar a more finished, custom look.

Will these cab lights fit my International DuraStar model year?

Cab light mounting locations and bezel styles can vary between DuraStar model years, so it is important to check the fitment details listed on each product page before ordering. If you are unsure whether a specific light or mounting bracket will match your truck's cab, our customer service team can help confirm compatibility based on your model year.

Do I need to drill holes to install cab lights, or are there mounting options that avoid drilling?

Installation depends on the specific light and mounting style. Some cab lights are designed to bolt into existing factory holes or brackets, while others may require drilling if your cab was not originally equipped with marker lights. Product listings typically note whether existing holes are used or new mounting is required, so review those details or reach out if you want to confirm before purchasing.

What options are available for lens color, housing material, and light output (LED vs incandescent)?

Cab lights are commonly available in amber, red, clear, and smoked lens options, with housings typically made of durable plastic or chrome-plated material to hold up to road conditions. Many customers prefer LED versions for brighter output and longer bulb life compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, though both types are generally available depending on the specific product.

Are these cab lights DOT compliant and legal for on-road use?

Many cab lights are manufactured to meet DOT standards for color, brightness, and placement, but compliance can vary by product and by state or local regulations. Check the individual product description for DOT certification information, and confirm with your local regulations if you have specific concerns about legal on-road use.
