Dear Mr. Lawrenz: This is in reply to your letter of September 21, 1971, to Mr. Lewis C Owen of this Office concerning an interpretation on the visibility requirements in FMVSS No. 108 as referenced in FMVSS No. 215.; Paragraph S4.3.1.1 of FMVSS No. 108 requires that the lamps be visibl at the extreme photometric test angles or as otherwise specified in the applicable SAE Standards. This paragraph does not require photometric tests at these extreme angles.; Sincerely, E. T. Driver, Director, Office of Operating Systems, Moto Vehicle Programs;
