That is not the case. Rear side marker lights and reflectors, like all vehicle exterior lighting devices, are technically specified in great detail. I'm not sure what you have in mind when you ask this question, but it looks as if you might be wondering if there are regulations stipulating that any given vehicle must have the side markers built into the rear combination lamps vs. separate on the side of the car body. The answer is no. Vehicles made after January 1, 1968 must have front amber and rear red side marker lights or retroreflectors, and vehicles made after January 1, 1970 must have front amber and rear red side marker lights and retroreflectors, and they must meet the design, construction, performance, and mounting requirements, but there is no regulatory preference for separate vs. combined installation.
