Some people want to celebrate and that's O.K. Some people just seek attention and that's o.k. The major issue I have with the clearance lights is on most units that center amber light ends up being just about eye level when I'm setting in my chair. That annoys me.

I have in the past asked the owner nicely if they minded if I taped over the light with painter's tape that wouldn't do any damage to the light. I've had some say no problem and others that have taken the hint and turned them off.

Years ago I bought a 7 way light tester that was in a clearance bin. Don't recall the maker don't have it handy to look. It's a tube that's about the size of a tube of tennis balls. It lights all the lights on the outside and if you flip a switch it flashes all the lights, clearance and brake lights as an emergency flasher. Never had to abandon nthe trailer have never used it that way.
