Proposal from GRE to permit the use of manufacturer logos inside the illuminant surface of a signalling lamp, to introduce an objective value to define the visibility of the red light towards the front and white light towards the rear of the vehicle, to allow for additional contributors to the driving beam without an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS), to allow driver assistance projections on the road ahead of the vehicle as part of the Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), and to clarify (via interpretation) that retrofitted and distracting stylish and outside facing interior lighting is prohibited.
