Rear lights - min height measurement?
I'm going to be mounting my rear lights in the bodywork this week (stop/tail, indicator, fog, reverse)
Just a quick question with regards the minimum height requirements laid down in the IVA. Are these measured from the ground to the bottom edge of the
respective light OR from the ground to the center of the respective light?????
Any advice much appreciated.

What about the table on page 188? That's in there, lists max and min heights, and max distance from the side.
Fog lamps has its own section
Once youve done that, try pages192 and 208

Yes I have looked at all those pages. I'm not sure you are reading my question properly. Is the 350mm minimum height dimension measured to the
bottom of the light or to the center of the light?? I can't see this information anywhere.

Ah, that's page 173, in 'installation of lights' (section 20)
Note 1
In short, minimum height is measured to the lower edge, max height to the top edge of the lens

Worth noting there are (IIRC) minor differences between the above SVA based diagram and the current IVA regs. Cant think off hand what they are, but
seperation distances rings a bell.
