TEXT:

For a new Porsche-car, we have decided to develop a headlamp as shown in the attached drawing. The lowbeam will be provided by an ellipsoid, the highbeam by a parabola. When highbeam is on, both bulbs will be on simultaneonsly.

My question is:

Will this headlamp meet the FMVSS-108-requirements concerning the location on a car?

Thanks in advance for a quick answer.
