The Red Incandescent 3-Light Identification Bar with Black Plastic Base provides traditional rear identification lighting for compatible trailers, trucks, RVs, motorhomes, and commercial vehicles.
This assembly combines three red 1258 incandescent lights on a single black plastic mounting base, providing the familiar three-light configuration commonly used for vehicle and trailer identification lighting.
Incandescent 3-light identification bars remain widely used on trailers and commercial vehicles, particularly for replacement applications where maintaining the original incandescent lighting configuration is preferred. Similar bars use three replaceable incandescent lamps mounted to a common base.
Three Red Incandescent Identification Lights
The assembly features three individual red 1258 lights.
Rather than converting an existing vehicle to LED, this bar maintains a traditional incandescent lighting configuration, making it particularly useful for:
- Original-style replacements
- Trailer lighting repairs
- Older trailer restorations
- Commercial vehicle repairs
- Maintaining an existing incandescent lighting system
The three-light arrangement is characteristic of identification-light bars used on wider trailers and commercial vehicles.
Rear Trailer Identification Lighting
Red identification lights are used toward the rear of the vehicle, making this bar particularly relevant for trailer applications.
Three-light red incandescent ID bars are commonly sold for trailers over 80 inches wide, including utility, cargo, enclosed, and flatbed trailers.
Potential applications include:
- Utility trailers
- Cargo trailers
- Enclosed trailers
- Equipment trailers
- Flatbed trailers
- Car haulers
- Commercial trailers
- Heavy-duty trucks
- RVs and motorhomes
- Buses
- Specialty vehicles
Actual compliance depends on the vehicle type and complete installation, including the light's position, spacing, orientation, and applicable regulations.
Black Plastic Base
The three lights are mounted together on a black plastic base, creating a complete identification-bar assembly.
Plastic and polymer bases are commonly used for incandescent trailer identification bars and provide a convenient way to mount all three lights as one assembly.
The black base also provides a neutral exterior appearance that works well with many trailer and commercial vehicle body styles.
Incandescent Replacement ID Bar
This product is particularly useful for customers searching for a replacement for an existing incandescent trailer identification bar.
Common search terms include:
- Trailer ID light bar
- 3-light trailer bar
- Red identification light
- Incandescent trailer light bar
- Rear trailer ID lights
- Three red trailer lights
- Black-base identification bar
- Replacement trailer identification light
This makes the product particularly valuable for customers who know what their existing light looks like but may not know the original part number.

Especially Relevant for Trailers Over 80" Wide
Three-light identification bars are commonly used on trailers 80 inches or more in overall width, with red identification lights positioned at the rear. Current replacement incandescent ID bars continue to be marketed specifically for this application.
For a road-going installation, verify the applicable lighting requirements for the specific vehicle rather than assuming compliance solely because the product is an identification bar.
Incandescent vs. LED Identification Bar
This model uses INCANDESCENT lights, not LEDs.
That distinction is important for customers who want to:
- Match existing trailer lighting
- Maintain an original-style configuration
- Replace an existing incandescent ID bar
- Avoid changing the existing lighting system to LED
Do not use LED-specific specifications or benefits when listing this product.
Important Fitment Note
Before ordering, verify the:
- Overall identification bar dimensions
- Mounting-hole locations and spacing
- Compatibility with the existing 1258 lights
- Vehicle electrical system
- Wiring configuration
- Grounding method
- Mounting clearance
- Required rear identification-light position
- Vehicle overall width
The exact dimensions, voltage, bulb type, wattage, lens material, wiring configuration, wire length, mounting-hole spacing, IP/weather rating, and regulatory certifications have not been supplied, so these specifications should not be assumed from visually similar identification bars.
