Often times, the Dodge Ram marker light goes unnoticed, but it’s actually an important part of the vehicle. It’s ironic then, to say that the purpose of a marker light is to provide better visibility to other drivers at times of decreased road visibility. Marker lights come in various sizes, shapes, and even color lenses, all of which are governed with industry regulations to ensure that the roads are safe for driving on. The Department of Motor Vehicles, upon registration of a new vehicle, checks to make sure that all of the necessary parts are present and legal. In fact, I failed the initial inspection of my truck when the inspector noticed my Dodge Ram side marker was no-where to be found. This type of part is easy to replace, and a replacement part can be found with any online automotive part vendor like Go-Part.com.
To be honest, I feel safer driving in a truck than driving in a smaller car like a Civic. In the event of an auto accident, I’d rather be within the sturdy frame of a truck, as was the case in the recent past. I’ll tell you what happened. One Saturday morning, I was craving a fast food burger, so I mustered up enough effort to slip out of my pajama pants and into my jeans (I kept my slippers on though), and I was out the door. I put the keys in the ignition, started the engine, opened my garage, and pulled out at 15 mph. As I flew out of the dimly lit garage, I was rattled with a surprise impact from behind as a smaller sedan busted my Dodge Ram 1982 left tail light. The other driver tried to blame it on me, of course, but I stayed firm and denied such accusations. He shouldn’t have tried driving while trying to scarf down a bagel sandwich while reading the morning paper all at the same time! Well, my truck survived the minor accident quite well, while the other person’s sedan was left with an altered front end. The only thing I could do for the other driver was refer him to Go-Part.com to buy his replacement parts.
