         1.   SCOPE
   This regulation applies to the approval of headlamps equipped with halogen lamps (HS2 lamps), which are provided for the equipment of mopeds and vehicles treated as such.
   2.   DEFINITION OF ‘TYPE’
   Headlamps of different ‘types’ means headlamps which differ in such essential respects as:
   
               2.1.
            
            
               The trade name or mark,
            
         
               2.2.
            
            
               The characteristics of the optical systems,
            
         
               2.3.
            
            
               The inclusion or elimination of components capable of altering the optical effects by reflection, refraction or absorption. A change in the colour of the beams emitted by headlamps whose other characteristics are not changed does not constitute a change of headlamp type. The same approval number shall accordingly be assigned to such headlamps.
            
         3.   APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL
   
               3.1.

               Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall continue to allow fitting or use on a vehicle in use of a headlamp approved to this Regulation in its original version, provided that the headlamp is intended for replacement.
            
         
      (1)  If the lens cannot be separated from the main body, the provision of such a space on the lens will suffice.
   
      (2)  A change in the colour of the beams emitted by headlamps whose other characteristics are not changed does not constitute a change of headlamp type. The same approval number shall accordingly be assigned to such headlamps (see paragraph 2.3).
   
      (3)  If different types of headlamps have an identical lens or an identical reflector, the lens and the reflector may bear the various approval marks of these types of headlamps, on condition that the approval number granted for the specific type submitted can be identified without ambiguity.
   
      (4)  The distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement are reproduced in Annex 3 to Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), document TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.2/Amend.1.
   
      (5)  It shall be possible to adjust the vertical angle of the headlamp.
