Best Answer

Clearance lights are common on Semi-trailers and taller vehicles. What they are are lights at the top of a vehicle that marks the outline so you can make sure you can clear an obstacle.

For example: Look at a big truck going down the freeway at night, see those lights at the top of his trailer? those are clearance lights. These mark out the outline of a vehicle so you can see them and so the driver can make sure if he is going under something he will clear it.

What fuse controls the exterior lights on a trailer on a E350?

By "exterior" lights I am forced to assume that your mean the tail lights, brake lights, license plate lights, and if available, the side marker and clearance lamps. When a trailer light wiring harness is attached to a towing vehicle's electrical system, it is generally tied into the tail/brake/license light wiring harness. If that is the case with your setup, then the same fuses that serve the vehicles light system[s] also serves the towed vehicles lights. Usually, one fuse serves the brake lights, and another serves the tail, license, side marker, and clearance lights.
