They must have an amber reflector at the front left and a red one at the back left, both mounted at specific heights and visible from 500 feet when another vehicle's headlights shine on them.

If the vehicle or its load is over 100 inches wide, it needs an amber light on the left side that's visible from all sides during the night. During the day, a red or orange flag or cloth at least 18 inches square must be displayed on the vehicle's left side.
