The title is replaced by the following:"on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to light sources (filament lamps and others) for use in approved lamp units of motor vehicles and of their trailers."2. In Article 1, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:"1. Each Member State shall grant EC component type-approval for any type of headlamp which functions as a main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamp and for any type of light source (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units which satisfy the construction and testing requirements laid down in the relevant Annexes."3. Articles 2, 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:"Article 2Member States shall, for each type of headlamp which functions as a main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamp or for each type of light source (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units which they approve pursuant to Article 1, issue to the manufacturer an EC component type-approval mark conforming to the model shown in Annex I, Appendix 5.Member States shall take all appropriate measures to prevent the use of marks liable to create confusion between headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units which have been type-approved pursuant to Article 1, and other devices.Article 31. No Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units on grounds relating to their construction or method of functioning, if they bear the EC component type-approval mark.2. A Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units bearing the EC component type-approval mark which consistently fail to conform to the approved type.That State shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission of the measures taken, specifying the reasons for its decision.Article 4The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform each other, by means of the procedure specified in Article 4(6) of Directive 70/156/EEC, of each approval which they have granted, refused or withdrawn pursuant to this Directive."4. In Article 5(1), the first sentence is replaced by the following:"If the Member State which has granted EC component type-approval finds that a number of headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps or light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units bearing the same EC component type-approval mark do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved type."5. In Article 6, the first sentence is replaced by the following:"Any decision taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive to refuse or withdraw EC component type-approval for a main-beam or a dipped-beam headlamp or for a light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units or prohibit their placing on the market or use shall set out in detail the reasons on which it is based."6. Articles 7, 8 and 9 are replaced by the following:"Article 7No Member State may refuse to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to its headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps or to the light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units if these bear the EC component type-approval mark and are fitted in accordance with the requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC.Article 8No Member State may refuse or prohibit the sale or registration, entry into service or use of a vehicle on grounds relating to its headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps or to the light source(s) (filament lamp(s) and other(s)) for use in approved lamp units if these bear the EC component type-approval mark and are fitted in accordance with the requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC.Article 9For the purposes of this Directive, 'vehicle' means any motor vehicle intended for use on the road, with or without bodywork, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h, with the exception of vehicles which run on rails and of agricultural and forestry tractors and all mobile machinery."7.

The normal frequency of inspections authorised by the approval authority shall be one every two years.(1) In the case of headlamps designed to meet the requirements of traffic moving on one side of the road only (either right or left) it is further recommended that the area which can be occulted to prevent discomfort to users in a country where traffic moves on the side of the road opposite to that of the country for which the headlamp was designed should be outlined indelibly on the front lens and explained in the maintenance book of the vehicles. This marking is not necessary, however where the area is clearly apparent from the design.(2) If the lens cannot be separated from the main body of the headlamp, the provision of a marking area on the lens will suffice.(3) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9A B C D E F G H J K L M N P R S T U V W X Y Z.Appendix 1>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.005802.EPS">>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.005901.EPS">Appendix 2>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006002.EPS">Appendix 3>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006102.EPS">>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006201.EPS">Appendix 4>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006302.EPS">>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006401.EPS">Appendix 5EXAMPLES OF THE EC COMPONENT TYPE-APPROVAL MARKFigure 1Independant lampsExample 1>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006502.EPS">The device bearing the EC component type-approval mark shown above is a headlamp meeting the requirements of Annex II (sequence No 01) with respect to the passing beam and designed for left-hand traffic only, type approved in Germany (e1) under the base approval number 1471.Example 2>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006503.EPS">The device bearing the EC component type-approval mark shown above is a headlamp meeting the requirements of Annex II (sequence No 01) with respect to both the passing beam and the driving beam and designed for both traffic systems by means of adjustment of the optical unit or of the lamp, type approved in Germany (e1) under the base approval number 1471.Example 3>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006601.EPS">The device bearing the EC component type-approval mark shown above is a sealed-beam headlamp meeting the requirements of Annex III (sequence No 02) with respect to both the passing beam and the driving beam and designed for right-hand traffic only, type approved in Germany (e1) under the base approval number 1471.Example 4>PIC FILE= "L_1999097EN.006602.EPS">The device bearing the EC component type-approval mark shown above is a headlamp incorporating a lens of plastic material, meeting the requirements of Annex IV (sequence No 04) with respect to the driving beam and designed for right-hand traffic only, type approved in Germany (e1) under the base approval number 1471.
