Dear Mr. Patton: Thank you for your letter of November 15, 1968, to Mr. J.R. O'Gorman o this Bureau, requesting a clarification of Standard No. 108 as it applies to the lamps and reflectors on your utility truck body and brush chipper trailer.; The lighting equipment shown on your two enclosed drawings, dated Jun 1968, appears to meet the location requirements of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, with the exception that the headlamps are not identified as required devices. If the cab guard is not used on the lift truck, the cab mounted clearance lamps would meet the location requirements of Standard No. 108, provided that the body does not exceed the overall width of the cab.; With respect to the requirements of Standard No. 108, I must point ou that this Bureau does not issue approval on items of lighting equipment or on vehicle designs incorporating this equipment. Therefore, the above comments are for your information only and in no way relieve the vehicle manufacturer from his responsibility for certifying that the assembled vehicle meets the requirements of this Standard.; Sincerely, Charles A. Baker, Office of Standards on Accident Avoidance Motor Vehicle Safety Performance Service;
