Dear Mr. Steffy:

This responds to your FAX of May 5, 1994, to Taylor Vinson of this Office, requesting an interpretation of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108.

You enclose a motorcycle headlamp design that "contains asymmetrical shaped lenses." The headlamp itself is a symmetrical unit mounted on the motorcycle's vertical centerline. It is your interpretation that this lamp is permitted under Standard No. 108 "as long as we do not create an asymmetric lighting arrangement physically where dipped beam is on one side only and main beam on one side only."

I enclose a copy of a recent interpretation to Kawasaki Motors Corp. U.S.A. with respect to a headlamp similar to yours. If this does not answer your question, we shall be pleased to consider the matter further.

Sincerely,

John Womack Acting Chief Counsel

Enclosure ref:108 d:6/28/94
