This document amends Standard No. 108, the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on lighting, to afford an option to existing headlamp aiming specifications which is intended to improve the objectivity and accuracy of motor vehicle headlamp aim when headlamps are aimed visually and/or optically.

The Committee was composed of representatives of government, industry, and consumer interest groups.
