Abstract
This document amends the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on lighting to permit white reflex reflectors designed to be mounted horizontally in trailer and truck tractor conspicuity treatments to be mounted vertically in upper rear corner locations if they comply with appropriate photometric requirements for off-axis light entrance angles. This action simplifies compliance with the standard.
