TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of May 14, 1972, to Mr. Armstrong asking whether combination turn signal and hazard warning signal flashers conforming to Federal requirements effective January 1, 1973, may be installed in vehicles manufactured before that date.

The answer is yes. Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 was amended on December 28, 1971 to allow use of flashers manufactured to conform with Standard No. 108a. I enclose a copy of the amendment for your information.
