6.3.4.1.                        In width: that point on the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis 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.
6.3.4.2.                        In height:
Minimum: Not less than 250 mm above the ground.
                  Maximum: For M1 and N1 category vehicles: not more than 800 mm above the ground.
                  For all other categories except N3G (off-road)[13] vehicles: not more than 1,200 mm above the ground.
                  For category N3G vehicles: the maximum height may be increased to 1,500 mm.
No point on the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis shall be higher than the highest point on the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped-beam headlamp.

α = 5° upwards and downwards,
ß = 45° outwards and 10° inwards.
The presence of partitions or other items of equipment near the front fog lamp shall not give rise to secondary effects causing discomfort to other road users.[14]
6.3.6.                              Orientation
