TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION
TEXT: Thank you for your letter of February 19, 1968, to Secretary Boyd, concerning the location of rear identification lamps on best trailers.
Standard No. 108 permits rear identification lasts to be mounted at optional heights. Therefore, lamps mounted on extension brackets or add-on(Illegible Words) would be permissible. We would also point out that rear identification lamps are required only on those trailers that are 80 or more inches in overall width.
Thank you for writing.
