Compliance with lighting requirements will be easier to determine with the newly updated United States Federal Lighting Guide Kit available from the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).

The spiral-bound guide provides information for determining compliance with the lighting requirements in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108: Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment. The guide includes:

  • A complete copy of FMVSS 108.

  • A complete copy of Subpart B (Lighting Devices, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment) of 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 393 (Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation) of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.

  • Lighting identification code charts and example.

  • FMVSS Compliance Worksheet and compliance statement example.

  • A compilation of articles related to motor vehicle lighting and FMVSS 108 compliance published by the NTEA.

The 158-page guide comes with a wall chart. The laminated, full-color wall chart has individual illustrations indicating specific requirements for height, location, color, and number of lights and reflectors for six truck body types, a truck-tractor, and a trailer. The chart is suitable for posting in the office or shop.

The guide and chart are available from the “Storefront” section at www.ntea.com ($35 for members; $70 for non-members). For additional information, phone 800-441-6832.
