Where 2 lamps are fitted, the pair of lamps shall be mounted with their centres symmetrical about the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle.

6.6.2. Arrangement   No special requirement.

6.6.3. Position

6.6.3.1. in width:  independent lamp: the centre of reference shall be in the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle; lamp reciprocally incorporated with a headlamp; see that headlamp;

19.6.6.3.1.1. For 'LB2' and 'LE2' category vehicles, that point on the illuminating surface which is farthest from the vehicle's median longitudinal Plane shall not be more than 400 mm from the extreme outer edge of the vehicle.

19.6.6.3.1.2. For LD category vehicles, one lamp shall be located on the motor cycle as per paragraph 6.6.3.1 of Appendix A. The other lamp shall be mounted on the side-car so that the point on the illuminating surface which is farthest frown the motor cycle shall not he more than 150 mm from the extreme outer edge of the side-car.
