Automotive Indicator Light Specification Example for Boat Trailers: Racing Spec
Automotive Indicator Light Specification Example for Boat Trailers: Racing Spec
This is a worked specification for automotive indicator light in a racing spec programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The racing spec version exists because the duty cycle on boat trailers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run racing spec most often specify this build for boat trailers. Related applications include assembly programmes, rental motorcycles, three-wheelers, workshop replacements, utility trailers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
