The report discusses a plan to evaluate the effectiveness of side marker lamps and high intensity headlamps in vehicles. Side marker lamps help drivers see other vehicles in low visibility conditions, while high intensity headlamps provide brighter light but may cause glare. The plan includes nine evaluation programs, such as analyzing accident data, testing glare effects in adverse weather, and studying sighting distances. The goal is to understand how these lamps impact safety and visibility on the road.
