In conditions of poor or insufficient visibility, side lights should be used in conjunction with dipped-beam headlamps (or, if equipped, with fog lamps).
Lamp diffusers front and rear dimensionsmust be installed in pairs on the same line. Viewing angles for side lights and side views are standardized by law. For vehicles with significant dimensions in height (for example, a bus), it is necessary to have additional position lights as close as possible to the upper edges.
