Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment - Proposed Amendment for Asymmetrical Headlamp Beams on Motorcycles

Summary

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are proposing to update the lighting regulations for motorcycles to allow for asymmetrical headlamp beams, enabling separate upper and lower beams on either side of the motorcycle or within a single headlamp. This change is in response to a rulemaking petition from Kawasaki Motors Corp.U.S.A. and aims to harmonize the US standard with international lighting standards.
