Dear Mr. Chikada: This is in reply to your letter of July 7, 1986, asking for our advic on a decorative lighting device for motorcycles. The general principle remains the same as when I last explained it to you. Please refer to my letter to you dated March 24, 1986 (copy enclosed) on the relationship of paragraph S4.1.3 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 to auxiliary lighting devices for motorcycles. If you conclude that the device would not impair the lighting equipment required by Standard No. 108 then paragraph S4.1.3 would not prohibit your device.; You may follow this guideline with reference to any future question you may have about the permissibility of auxiliary motor vehicle lighting devices. The agency does not approve or disapprove of specific items of lighting equipment.; Sincerely, Erika Z. Jones, Chief Counsel
