Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section says that buses and trucks that are 80 inches or more wide must have certain lights and reflectors. They need clearance and identification lights on the front and rear, plus side marker lights and reflectors on each side. Rear-end dump trucks and trucks with hydraulic tailgates can use reflectors instead of rear clearance lights.
