TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of December 6, 1968, to Dr. William Haddon, Jr., Director, National Highway Safety Bureau, requesting a clarification of the requirements for a turn signal pilot indicator as specified in Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108.

With respect to the turn signal pilot indicator only, you are correct in your interpretation that so long as the indicator is the color green, the diameter circle is more than 3/16 inches, and the driver has a clear and unmistakable indication, it is not necessary to apply other test procedures in order to meet the requirements of Standard No. 108.

The above provision in no way excepts turn signal lamps from meeting the requirements of SAR Standard J588d, June 1966.
