Dear Mr. Shapiro: This is in reply to your letter of January 4, 1977, asking fo confirmation of your interpretation that Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 permits the installation of white reflex reflectors on the front of a passenger car.; You are correct in your interpretation. While Standard No. 108 does no require any reflex reflector on the front of a passenger car, pursuant to S4.1.3 they may be added provided that they do not impair the effectiveness of the required lighting equipment.; Sincerely,Frank A. Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
