“By extending the terms of our original agreement to the OEM segment, we hope to more aggressively promote adoption of LED lighting in the North American heavy-duty vehicle industry,” said Gary R. Durgin, Dialight’s vice president of marketing. “At the same time, it gives fleet customers a seamless solution to their lighting needs from OEM specification through aftermarket replacement.”

Since 1996, Federal-Mogul and Dialight have maintained an aftermarket joint distribution agreement, allowing Federal-Mogul to sell, market, and distribute replacement Dialight LED products. The product line offers one of the industry’s most extensive selection of LED signal and marker lights, including both oval and round stop-tail-turn signals, standard, rectangular, and round marker lights, oval center-high-mount stop lights, cab markers and front park/turn signals.

In addition to the OE marketing alliance and aftermarket distribution agreement, Federal-Mogul produces the molded components for Dialight’s manufacturing and assembly operations. These include lenses, lamp housings and mounting grommets, which are shipped to Dialight’s Roxboro, North Carolina, facility and employed in the final assembly of vehicular LED lighting.

Dialight is a subsidiary of the U.K.-based Roxboro Group PLC. The company has 60 years of experience in lighting technology and its application, including more than 25 years of leadership in the design and production of LED indicators. The company is the only manufacturer of vehicle lighting that specializes solely in LED lighting.
