Indian roads are filled with commercial vehicles transporting payloads from one place to another and making business possible for almost every businessman residing in different states. 

These trucks come in various shapes and sizes and are designed to perform in all terrains that the trucks encounter in the journey. India is known for its challenging roads and rocky terrains and these trucks go over the limits to deliver goods and services to these locations. Due to the day-long journeys and busy schedules, these trucks are not serviced regularly because of the lack of time and availability of resources and sustain damage from time to time. Truck spare parts such as truck electrical parts and truck chassis parts come in handy when the truck needs maintenance or any damaged part to be replaced by the mechanic. For a truck moving along the road, it is necessary to have proper functioning electrical parts such as horn, lights, etc, and smoothly functioning chassis parts such as suspension, coolant system, brakes, etc. to ensure the safety of both, the driver and the public.

  1. Mirror reflector – One bulb, together with the surrounding mirror reflector of very specific shape, aims the light to the street up to a certain line, and not at all above it, where other drivers eyes are. The other one just shines lots of light ahead, for situations where you can be sure nobody is irritated. So the mirror using the principles of physics and lights, ensures that light from the headlight doesnt go into the other driver’s eyes. 
  1. Outside case – Case holds the headlight and the hard surface that protects the mirror. Also using nuts & bolts the case is attached to the body of the vehicle so that it cant be dismantled easily.
