The illuminating lamps described in paragraphs 2.7.9., 2.7.10. and 2.7.19. shall be so installed that correct adjustment of their orientation can easily be carried out. 5.2.1. In the case of headlamps fitted with measures to prevent discomfort to other road-users in a country where traffic operates on the side of the road opposite to that of the country for which the headlamp was designed, such measures shall be achieved automatically or by the vehicle user with the vehicle in the park condition without the need for special tools (other than those provided with the vehicle6). Detailed instructions shall be provided by the vehicle manufacturer with the vehicle. 5.3.

In each direction a tolerance of ±33° shall be allowed. In addition, any specific instructions as regards fitting laid down by the manufacturer shall be complied with. 5.4. In the absence of specific instructions, the height and orientation of the lamps shall be verified with the vehicle unladen and placed on a flat, horizontal surface, in the condition defined in paragraphs 2.24., 2.24.1. and 2.24.2. and, in the case where an AFS is installed, with the system in its neutral state. 5.5.

Grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated lamps 5.6.1. Lamps may be grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated with one another provided that all requirements regarding colour, position, orientation, geometric visibility, electrical connections and other requirements, if any, are fulfilled. 5.6.1.1. The photometric and colorimetric requirements of a lamp shall be fulfilled when all other functions with which this lamp is grouped, combined or reciprocally incorporated are switched OFF. However, when a front or rear position lamp is reciprocally incorporated with one or more other function(s) which can be activated together with them, the requirements regarding colour of each of these other functions shall be fulfilled when the reciprocally incorporated function(s) and the front or rear position lamps are switched ON. 5.6.1.2. Stop lamps and direction indicator lamps are not permitted to be reciprocally incorporated. 5.6.1.3. However, where stop lamps and direction indicator lamps are grouped, any horizontal or vertical straight line passing through the projections of the apparent surfaces of these functions on a plane perpendicular to the reference axis, shall not apply intersect more than two borderlines separating adjacent areas of different colour. 5.6.2.

For passing-beam headlamps, the minimum height from the ground shall be measured from the lowest point of the effective outlet of the optical system (e.g. reflector, lens, projection lens) independent of its utilisation. Where the (maximum and minimum) height above the ground clearly meets the requirements of the Regulation, the exact edges of any surface need not be determined. When referring to the distance between lamps, the position, as regards width, shall be determined from the inner edges of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis. Where the position, as regards width, clearly meets the requirements of the Regulation, the exact edges of any surface need not be determined. 5.8.

Compliance with this requirement shall be verified as shown hereunder (see drawing in Annex 4): 5.9.1. Visibility of red light towards the front: a red lamp must not be directly visible to an observer moving in zone 1 of a transverse plane situated 25 m forward of the foremost point on the vehicle; 5.9.2. Visibility of white light towards the rear: a white lamp must not be directly visible to an observer moving in zone 2 of a transverse plane situated 25 m rearward of the rearmost point on the vehicle; 5.9.3. In their respective planes, the zones 1 and 2 explored by the eye of the observer are bound: 5.9.3.1. In height, by two horizontal planes 1 m and 2.2 m respectively above the ground; 5.9.3.2. In width, by two vertical planes which, forming to the front and the rear respectively an angle of 15° outwards from the vehicle's median longitudinal plane, pass through the point or points of contact of vertical planes parallel to the vehicle's median longitudinal plane and delimiting the vehicle's over-all width; if there are several points of contact, the foremost shall correspond to the forward plane and the rearmost to the rearward plane. 5.65.10. On vehicles whose external shape is asymmetrical the above requirements The electrical connections shall be such that the front position lamp or the passing-beam headlamp, if there is no front position lamp, the rear position lamp and the rear-registration-plate illuminating device cannot be switched ON or OFF otherwise than simultaneously, unless otherwise specified. 5.11. In the absence of specific instructions, the electrical connection shall be such that the driving-beam headlamp, the passing-beam headlamp and the fog lamp cannot be switched on unless the lamps referred to in paragraph 5.10. above are likewise switched on. This requirement need not, however, be satisfied so far in the case of the driving-beam headlamp and passing-beam headlamp where their luminous warnings consist in switching on the passing- beam headlamp intermittently, at short intervals, or in switching on the driving-beam headlamp intermittently, or in switching on the passing-beam headlamp and driving-beam headlamp alternately at short intervals. 5.11.1. If installed, the daytime running lamp shall automatically be ON when the engine is running. If the headlamp is switched on, the daytime running lamp shall not come on when the engine is running. If no daytime running lamp is installed, the headlamp shall automatically be on when the engine is running. 5.12. Tell-tale lamps 5.12.1. Every tell-tale lamp shall be readily visible to a driver in the normal driving position. 5.12.2. Where a "circuit-closed" tell-tale is prescribed by this Regulation, it may be replaced by an "operating" tell-tale. 5.13. Colours of the lights The colours of the lights referred to in this Regulation shall be as follows: Driving-beam headlamp: white Passing-beam headlamp: white Direction indicator lamp: amber Stop lamp: red Rear-registration-plate lamp: white Front position lamp: white or amber Rear position lamp: red Rear retro-reflector, non-triangular: red Side retro-reflector, non-triangular: amber at the front amber or red at the rear Vehicle-hazard warning signal: amber Front fog lamp: white or selective yellow Rear fog lamp: red 5.14. Every vehicle submitted for approval pursuant to this Regulation shall be equipped with the following lighting and light-signalling devices: 5.14.1. Driving-beam headlamp (paragraph 6.1.); 5.14.2.
