5. Dimensional Requirements—The headlamp shall conform to the dimensional requirements of either SAE
J571, SAE J572, or SAE J760.

6. Electrical And Life Requirements—The headlamp shall conform to the appropriate requirements of either
Table 2 of SAE J573 or Table 5 of SAE J598.

7. Beam Aim On Machine—Reference for photometric requirements only.

7.1 General Service Lamp (Trapezoidal)—The unit shall be aimed so that the top of the beam is at least 1 deg
below lamp center level but not more than 4 deg below lamp center level and centered laterally.

7.2 General Service Floodlamp—The unit shall be positioned with the lamp axis aimed downward to provide
illumination close to the vehicle.

8. Photometric Requirements

8.1 General Service Lamp (Trapezoidal)—The unit shall comply with the photometric requirements of Table 3 of
SAE J598.

8.2 General Service Floodlamp—The unit shall comply with the photometric requirements of Table 4 of SAE
J598.

9. Optional Headlamps—Optional with this specification, 7 in (178 mm) sealed beam units, or 5-3/4 in (146 mm)
Type 1 and 5-3/4 in (146 mm) Type 2 sealed beam units meeting the requirements of SAE J579 may be used.
