Will these light panels fit my specific truck model and air cleaner size?
Air cleaner light panels are designed to fit standard 15-inch and 19-inch diameter air cleaners commonly found on Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, and Western Star trucks. Before ordering, measure your air cleaner diameter at the widest point. Most panels are universal fit, but some models are specifically designed for certain air cleaner styles like Donaldson or Vortox. Check the product specifications for your exact air cleaner brand compatibility.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 30-60 minutes and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, wire strippers, electrical tape, and a test light. Most panels mount using the existing air cleaner band clamps or included brackets. The main challenge is routing the wiring harness through the hood and connecting to a switched 12V power source. Many drivers tap into their clearance light circuit for easy on/off control with existing switches.
What's the difference between stainless steel and chrome plastic panels?
Stainless steel panels offer superior durability and maintain their appearance longer, especially in harsh weather conditions and frequent washing. They resist rust and pitting but cost more upfront. Chrome plastic panels provide an excellent mirror finish at a lower price point but may show wear after 2-3 years of heavy use. Stainless is recommended for owner-operators planning long-term use, while chrome plastic works well for fleet trucks or shorter ownership periods.
How bright are these lights, and are they DOT legal?
Most air cleaner light panels use LED technology producing 1,000-2,000 lumens, providing excellent visibility without being blinding. They're designed as auxiliary accent lighting, not primary illumination. While the panels themselves meet manufacturing standards, DOT regulations vary by state regarding auxiliary lighting colors and placement. Amber and white are generally acceptable, while blue and red may be restricted. Check your state's specific regulations before installing.
Can these panels handle engine heat and vibration without failing?
Quality air cleaner light panels are built to withstand engine compartment conditions, with LEDs rated for 50,000+ hours and operating temperatures up to 185?F. The mounting systems are designed to absorb engine vibration without loosening. Look for panels with sealed, waterproof connections and vibration-resistant LED boards. Avoid bottom-tier options that use basic Christmas-light style bulbs, as these fail quickly from heat and vibration.
