[DML] Re: Orange lights in the front. Please help!

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Stian,

The D.O.T. (government agency that establishes ground vehicle lighting
standards in the USA) requires the following: All passenger cars must have 2
front and 2 rear corner mounted parking lights, amber in front and red at
the
rear. They must operate independently of the headlights and with the
headlights. These lights can also double as directional signals. Four corner
side mounted marker lights are required, amber front red rear. They may
also double as directional signals but are not required to do so. The marker
lights are generally wired across the same circuit as the parking lights.

Happy Holiday's
