### Road Traffic (Construction and Maintenance of Vehicles) Regulations (words omitted as spent—E.R. 2 of 2012) 《道路交通(車輛構造及保養)規例》

93. Multi-purpose lamps and combined lamps and reflectors
(1) Nothing in this Part shall require a vehicle to carry separate lamps for different purposes if it carries a lamp satisfying all the requirements which would be applicable to separate lamps carried by it for those purposes.
(2) An obligatory rear lamp may be so constructed that, when not showing a light, it is an efficient red reflector for the purposes of regulation 106.

94. Restriction of movement, etc. of lamps
Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, no light shown by a motor vehicle shall be capable of being swivelled, deflected or otherwise moved while the vehicle is in motion:
Provided that the beam of light emitted from not more than 2 lamps showing a light to the front, other than the obligatory front lamps, fitted to any motor vehicle may be deflected to either side by the movement of, although not necessarily through the same angle as, the front wheels of the vehicle when turned for the purpose of steering the vehicle, if the centre of any such lamp is not more than 1 metre from the ground.

95. Markings of electric bulbs in front lamps and of front sealed beam lamps
Every electric bulb used in a lamp, and every sealed beam lamp, being in either case a lamp showing a light to the front fitted to any motor vehicle, shall be indelibly marked with the rated wattage thereof in a readily legible manner.

96. Obligatory headlamps
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), every motor vehicle shall be equipped with headlamps in accordance with the provisions of these regulations.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to—
(a) a pedestrian-controlled vehicle;
(b) a straddle carrier;
(c) an agricultural implement or agricultural tractor;
(d) a road roller;
(e) a vehicle so constructed as to be incapable of exceeding 10 kilometres per hour on the level under its own power; and
(f) a vehicle brought temporarily into Hong Kong and used by virtue of an international circulation permit if it complies with the requirements as to lighting equipment and reflectors contained in Part II of Annex 6 to the 1968 Convention.

97. Headlamps to be carried by vehicles with 2 or 3 wheels
(1) A motor vehicle which has 2 or 3 wheels shall carry—
(a) one headlamp in the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle (disregarding, for the purpose of ascertaining such axis, any sidecar attached thereto) which either—
(i) in the case of a motor cycle with or without a sidecar attached thereto, can only emit a dipped beam; or
(ii) is wired to a device the operation of which at the will of the driver can cause to be emitted from it either a main beam or a dipped beam; or
(b) a matched pair of headlamps, both headlamps in the pair being wired to a device the operation of which at the will of the driver can cause to be emitted from them at the same time either main beams or dipped beams.
(2) Every beam emitted by any headlamp required to be carried by this regulation shall be derived from the filament or filaments of an electric bulb or bulbs, or from the filament or filaments of a sealed beam lamp, the rating of such filament or at least one of such filaments not being less than—
(a) 18 watts in the case of a main beam or dipped beam emitted by a headlamp carried by a motor cycle with or without a sidecar attached thereto; and
(b) 24 watts in the case of a dipped beam, and 30 watts in the case of a main beam, emitted by a headlamp carried by any other vehicle.
(3) Where any vehicle carries a matched pair of headlamps in accordance with this regulation, each of the headlamps in the pair shall, except in the case of headlamps carried by a vehicle which is engineering plant, an industrial tractor or motor cycle with or without a sidecar attached thereto, be so positioned on one side of the vehicle that no part of its illuminated area is less than 300 millimetres from any part of the illuminated area of the other headlamp in the pair. (L.N. 95 of 1993)

98. Headlamps to be carried by vehicles with 4 or more wheels
(1) Every motor vehicle which has 4 or more wheels shall carry—
(a) a matched pair of headlamps, both headlamps in the pair being wired to a device the operation of which at the will of the driver can cause to be emitted from them at the same time either main beams or dipped beams; or
(b) 2 or more matched pairs of headlamps, the headlamps being arranged so that—
(i) they form 2 groups of headlamps, one on each side of the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle;
(ii) the headlamps in one of the matched pairs, which are at least as far away from the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle as any other headlamps in another matched pair of headlamps, can each emit a dipped beam without at the same time emitting a main beam, and so that every other headlamp can emit a main beam; and
(iii) all the headlamps in both groups are wired to a device the operation of which at the will of the driver can at the same time extinguish every main beam emitted by every headlamp in both groups, and cause either to be emitted or to continue to be emitted the dipped beams from the 2 headlamps in the matched pair which are at least as far away from the vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle as any other headlamps in another matched pair of headlamps:
Provided that in the case of a bus it shall be a sufficient compliance with this paragraph if the bus carries a matched pair of headlamps one of which can emit a dipped beam without either headlamp at the same time emitting a main beam.(2) Every main beam or dipped beam emitted by any headlamp required to be carried by this regulation shall be derived from the filament or filaments of an electric bulb or bulbs, or from the filament or filaments of a sealed beam lamp, the rating of such filament or at least one of such filaments not being less than 30 watts.
(3) Every headlamp which emits a dipped beam carried by a vehicle in accordance with this regulation shall, except in the case of a headlamp carried by a vehicle which is engineering plant or an industrial tractor, be so positioned on one side of the vehicle that—
(a) no part of its illuminated area is less than 600 millimetres from any part of the illuminated area of any such headlamp on the other side; and
(b) the outermost part of the illuminated area of the headlamp is not more than 400 millimetres from the outermost part of the vehicle on the side on which the headlamp is placed.
