Parking lights
45 Parking lights
A heavy motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels built after June 1953 must be fitted with a pair of parking lights.
A pair of parking lights fitted to a heavy motor vehicle must be fitted with the centre of each light—
at least 600mm from the centre of the other light; and
not more than 510mm from the nearer side of the vehicle.
However, a pair of parking lights fitted to a heavy motor vehicle less than 1300mm wide may be fitted with the centre of each light not less than 400mm from the centre of the other light.
When on, a parking light fitted to a heavy motor vehicle must—
show a white or yellow light visible 200m from the front of the vehicle; and
not use more than 7W.
A parking light fitted to a heavy motor vehicle built after 1969 must be wired so the parking light is on when a headlight on the vehicle is on.
