    Regarding Panelite Lights

    As you may have heard, Panelite, a supplier of truck lights, recently suspended operations. Having 96 Panelite marker lights (a/k/a chicken lights) on our truck, this was not good news.

    I found a replacement as described in my blog entry today. I am asking readers here for any additional information you may have about Panelite and its plant, patents and successor entity.

    Thank you in advance for any information you provide. There will be a bunch of owner-operators out there in need of a Panelite replacement. They will appreciate your info too.

    Yea Phil IF YOU READ THIS, there is a large supply of lights sitting in different distribution centers for Panelite.

    Call the manufacturer and ask them who the distributors are and then have one of your truck parts dealer friends order you all the lights you need.
