A system for providing visual indication of a grain hopper trailer door status. The system includes a first proximity sensor mounted to the grain hopper trailer configured to detect a position of the door of the first chute; a second proximity sensor mounted to the grain hopper trailer configured to detect a position of the door of the second chute; a light source affixed to the grain hopper trailer; and a power source. The light source is activated when the either the first proximity sensor or the second proximity sensor detects a door in an open configuration. The light source is deactivated when both the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor detect that both the door of the first chute and the door of the second chute are in the closed configuration.
