About This Item

The SAE International task force on headlamp mounting height has considered the ramifications of reducing the maximum mounting height of headlamps on highway vehicles. The task force has concluded that it is in the best interest of the driving public to make a substantial reduction in the recommended maximum height at which headlamps, particularly low-beam headlamps, may be mounted. Heights as low as 36 to 40 in (90 to 100 cm) have been considered. New tractor vehicles are in fact being designed with headlamps mounted in this range. Further recommendations were withheld in anticipation of tests to demonstrate the effect of mounting height on the legibility of certain overhead signs. The changes to this document are limited in scope, consisting mainly of cleanup: there are corrections to errors in grammar, syntax, nomenclature, and values. Where called for, ambiguous points have been clarified and assertions based on other documents have been brought into agreement with their referents.
