to either ADR 55/… or ADR 46/…

19.6.1.1.2. in the case of  'LE2' category vehicles 2 lamps to either ADR 55/... or ADR 46/…

19.6.1.1.3. in the case of LA or 'LB1' vehicles, one or 2 lamps to either ADR 54/... or ECE R 76/00.

19.6.1.1.4. in the case of 'LB2' vehicles, 2 1amps to either ADR 54/… or ECE R 76/00 specifications.

6.1.2. Arrangement  No special requirement.

6.1.3. Position

6.1.3.1. in width: an independent driving lamp may be installed above or below the passing lamp, in which case the geometric centre shall be situated in the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle. A driving lamp reciprocally incorporated with the passing lamp shall be installed with its geometric centre situated in the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle;

19.6.1.3.1 in width:

For 'LB2' and 'LE2' category vehicles the outer edge of the illuminating surface must in no case be closer to the extreme outer edge of the vehicle than the outer edges of the illuminating surface of the passing, beam headlamps.  Where 2 driving lamps are fitted, the requirements of paragraph 6.1.3.1 do not apply.  However, the requirements of paragraph 5.5 shall be met.

6.1.3.2.  in length: at the front of the vehicle. This requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied if the light emitted does not cause discomfort to the driver either directly, or indirectly through the rear view mirrors and/or other reflecting surfaces of the vehicle.

6.1.3.3. In all cases the edge of the illuminating surface of an independent driving lamp shall be not more than 100 mm away from the edge of the illuminating surface of the passing lamp.

6.1.4. Geometric visibility The visibility of the illuminating surface, including its visibility in areas which do not appear to be illuminated in the direction of observation considered, shall be ensured within a divergent space defined by generating lines based on the perimeter of the illuminating surface and forming an angle of not less than 5° with the axis of reference of the headlamp.

6.1.5. Orientation  Forwards. The lamp may move with the steering.

19.6.1.5. For 'LB2' and 'LE2' category vehicles, the lamp may not move with the steering.

6.1.6. May be "grouped" with the passing lamp and the other front lamps.

6.1.7. May not be "combined" with any other lamp.

6.1.8. May be "reciprocally incorporated"

6.1.8.1. with the passing lamp;

6.1.8.2. with the front position lamp;

6.1.8.3. with the front fog lamp.

6.1.9. Electrical connections  The passing lamp may remain switched on at the same time as the driving lamp(s).

6.1.10. "Circuit-closed" tell-tale  Mandatory, non-flashing blue signal lamp.

6.1.11. Other requirements  Maximum intensity of the driving lamp shall not exceed 120,000 cd. (The approval value.)  Nil
