Frequently Asked Questions About Western Star 4700 Truck Lights
What years and models of Western Star 4700 trucks will these lights fit?
Our Western Star 4700 truck lights are designed to fit model years 2011 through present. These lights are specifically engineered for the 4700SF and 4700SB models. However, we always recommend verifying your truck's specific configuration before ordering, as some custom builds may have variations. You can find your model information on the driver's side door jamb sticker or contact our support team with your VIN for exact fitment confirmation.
Are these lights DOT approved and street legal?
Yes, all Western Star 4700 lights we carry meet or exceed DOT (Department of Transportation) and FMVSS 108 standards for on-road use. Each light includes proper SAE markings and comes with certification documentation. Our LED options are particularly popular as they maintain DOT compliance while offering superior brightness and longevity compared to traditional halogen bulbs.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Most Western Star 4700 light replacements are straightforward plug-and-play installations that take 30-60 minutes per light. You'll need basic hand tools including a socket set (typically 10mm and 13mm), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and wire strippers for any auxiliary lights. Factory replacement lights use existing mounting points and wiring harnesses. For LED upgrades, some models may require load resistors or flasher relay replacements to prevent hyper-flashing, which we include with applicable kits.
What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket light options?
OEM lights are exact factory replacements that match your truck's original specifications, using the same materials and construction methods. Aftermarket options often provide upgrades like LED technology, chrome or black bezels, and enhanced light output. While OEM lights typically cost more, aftermarket lights can offer better performance and styling options. Both types fit the same mounting locations, but aftermarket LED lights generally last 50,000+ hours compared to 2,000 hours for standard halogen bulbs.
Do LED lights cause any electrical issues with my Western Star 4700?
LED lights draw significantly less power than halogen bulbs, which can sometimes trigger warning lights or cause turn signals to flash too quickly. This is easily resolved with plug-in load resistors or an LED-compatible flasher relay, which we include with lights that commonly experience this issue. Some newer Western Star 4700 models (2018+) already have LED-compatible systems that won't require these additions. Our product descriptions clearly indicate when additional components are needed for proper operation.
