Section 13:20-32.6 - Front parking lights requirements, all motor vehicles; commercial vehicle inspection at official inspection facilities

(a) Front parking lights shall be of a type approved as meeting the standards of the United States Department of Transportation or, for motor vehicles manufactured prior to the adoption of such standards, the standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers. The letters "SAE" and the letter "P," along with the manufacturer's name or trademark, are often on the lens of such lights.

(b) Front parking lights shall be white, yellow, or amber in color, and shall be securely mounted on the motor vehicle, so as to reduce the likelihood of their being obscured by mud or dust thrown up by the wheels. There shall be one front parking light mounted on each side of the vertical centerline of the motor vehicle at the same height and as far apart as practicable.

(c) Certification of a commercial vehicle shall not be refused because of the following reasons; however, the motorist shall be advised to have the defect corrected:

1. One or both of the front parking lights are inoperative; or

2. A front parking light lens is damaged or missing. Where the front turn signal lights are combined with the front parking lights, the motor vehicle shall not be refused certification because of a cracked, broken, or missing lens.
