TEXT: During our investigations in the field of a new rear lamp development, we have the following two questions:

1) Is it allowed to split the turn signal lamp in two parts with the dimensions given in the sketch on the next page, where the bigger part (4.5 sq. in.) is on the body of the car. The distance does not exceed 22 in.

2) Is it allowed to use the combination of the two lamps to meet the photometric requirements.

As we urgently need this information, could you PLEASE SEND IT BY FAX. Our address is:
