A low beam headlamp shall have a minimum of 3,500 candlepower and a high beam headlamp a minimum of 5,000 candlepower. Headlamps that incorporate both high and low beam in the same assembly will be aligned on low beam. Headlamp inspection and aiming by computer image processing method requires a level area sufficient for the vehicle and test equipment. The test equipment shall be accurately calibrated to the floor and accurately aligned to the vehicle.

Agency Note: Manufacturers of low speed vehicles may equip their vehicles with lamps which are not identified as approved headlamps by federal motor vehicle safety standards established for vehicles other than low speed vehicles, for example: required marking symbol of "DOT" (Department of Transportation) on headlamp lens, and any additional manufacturer's markings of headlamp type and SAE identification code. Manufacturers of low speed vehicles utilizing lighting in their vehicles as headlamps, which are not properly identified with the appropriate marking, however, are equipped with multibeam road lighting (high and low beam headlamps), will be treated as headlamps and aligned by using the Division's approved headlight testers. Lighting utilized by manufacturers of low speed vehicles as headlamps which are identified as a type lighting other than a headlamp, for example: SAE "Y", auxiliary driving lamp, or by lighting utilized as headlamps which fails to contain the appropriate headlamp marking and is not multibeam road lighting as noted above, will not be inspected and aligned by the use of the Division's approved headlight testers. These lamps will instead be visually inspected and rejected under "Non-Headlamps", inspection procedures listed below.

Procedures:	Reject Vehicle If:
(1) Low Beam. (a) Low Beam. With the vehicle in the approved inspection area and the test equipment properly calibrated and aligned to the vehicle, switch headlamps to low beam. Follow headlamp aimer's procedures for low beam headlamp alignment. (b) When properly aimed: Edges of high intensity zone-Top edge centered on horizontal centerline. Left edge centered on vertical centerline.	(a) High intensity zone: (i) Left edge is horizontally more than 4 inches right or left of the vertical centerline; or (ii) Top edge is vertically more than 4 inches above or below the horizontal centerline.

(2) High Beam. Required to function, if so equipped. Inspect aim of high beam lamp only if high beam lamp has separate adjustment from low beam lamp.

Procedures:	Reject Vehicle If:
(a) High Beam. Follow same set up procedure as low beam aim-inspection. Switch headlamps to high beam and follow headlamp aimer's procedures for high beam headlamp alignment. (b) When properly aimed, the center of the high intensity zone of the beam pattern is set on the vertical and horizontal centerlines of the lamp.	(a) Center of high intensity zone is horizontally: (i) More than 4 inches right; or (ii) More than 4 inches left of the vertical centerline.

Lighting installed by the vehicle manufacturer and used as headlamps, which are not properly marked as headlamps, excluding multibeam road lighting (high and low beam headlamps) that are improperly marked, or are types of lamps identified as other than headlamps. See Agency Note in §C Headlamps.

Procedures:

Reject Vehicle If:

(a) Non-headlamp. With the vehicle in the approved inspection area and following general headlamp aim inspection procedures previously noted, switch headlamps on and visually inspect headlamps. To assist in visually inspecting headlamp aim, the vehicle should be positioned a minimum distance of 5 feet or further when practical, from in front of a plain vertical surface, for example, bay wall or tool box, etc., to provide a view of the headlamps beam pattern.

(a) Non-headlamp. (i) Fails to emit a white light and function as designed when activated; (ii) Is not properly mounted in vehicle or fails to provide a means of adjustment; (iii) Fails to display an adjusted beam pattern of sufficient intensity determined by visual observation.

(iv) Lens is cracked or broken; (v) Is mounted less than 24 inches or more than 54 inches above the level surface on which the vehicle stands measured to the center of the lamp; or (vi) Fails to comply with any applicable required condition of a headlamp noted in this chapter.

D. Fog Lamp and Auxiliary Driving Lamps. Only one spot lamp is allowed. It is not considered an auxiliary driving lamp and has no set mounting height by law. Therefore, it need not be inspected. If a vehicle is equipped with either fog lamps or auxiliary driving lamps, they shall be properly aimed. Fog lamps shall be mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height not more than 30 inches or less than 12 inches above the level surface on which the vehicle stands. Only two fog lamps are allowed by law. Auxiliary driving lamps shall be mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height not more than 42 inches or less than 16 inches above the level surface on which the vehicle stands. Only two auxiliary lamps are allowed by law. The mounting heights of auxiliary driving lamps do not apply to emergency vehicles. Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with required headlamps also is equipped with any auxiliary lamps or a spot lamp or any other lamp on its front, projecting a beam of intensity greater than 300 candlepower, not more than four of these lamps on the front of a vehicle may be lighted at any one time when on a highway.

Procedures:	Reject Vehicle If:
(1) Auxiliary Driving or Fog Lamp Aim-Inspection. Under the same procedures as for headlamp inspection, follow headlamp aimer's procedures for auxiliary or fog lamp alignment. Switch on the lamps and observe color emitted and the location of the high intensity zone. (a) Symmetrical Beam. When properly aimed, the center of the high intensity zone is set 4 inches below the horizontal centerline of the lamp and centered on the vertical centerline. (b) Asymmetrical Beam.
