Proposal to render optional the fitment of front position lamps where the motorcycle is fitted with automatic headlamp switching or daytime running lamps meeting certain conditions and to add provisions regarding electrical connections and the activation of simultaneous lamps (e.g., to permit activation of rear lamps before the front lamps are activated).
29. The expert from India proposed making optional the fitment of front position lamps, due to the introduction of auto headlamp switching, and alternatively DRL provisions in UN Regulation No. 53 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2018/47 and GRE-80-26). The experts of Finland, Germany and UK expressed doubts. The Chair concluded that there was not enough support for the proposal and proposed to revert to this issue at the next session. He also invited the expert from India to try to convince the experts in doubt before the next session.
