het markeringslicht

Translation

end-outline marker light

A light fitted as high as possible at the widest point of the vehicle, clearly showing the vehicle’s overall width (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). It supplements the position and rear lights on large vehicles. You may show it together with dipped beam or fog light (art. 41(2)). Those high little lights in the distance mean a wide vehicle is approaching.
