    Subsection 41-6a-1601(2)(c)(iv) states that 49 CFR 571 Standard 108 related to lights and illuminating devices is adopted. Section 41-6a-1620 states that the department shall approve or disapprove any lighting device or other safety equipment, component or assembly of a type for which approval is specifically required under this part.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    There was a request that undercarriage lights of different colors be approved because the owner of the vehicle felt the lights enhanced safety and identification when picking up passengers at night.

    Subsection 41-6a-1601(2)(c)(iv) states that 49 CFR 571 Standard 108 related to lights and illuminating devices is adopted.
