This document establishes performance, material, and design requirements and design guidelines for halogen replaceable light sources used in road illumination devices for forward lighting. Non-halogen filament light sources suitable for forward lighting are specified in SAE J573. The terms “high beam filament” and “low beam filament” used throughout this document refer only to typical use, not to a mandatory, exclusive, or universal function of the filaments. This SAE Recommended Practice is periodically updated to keep pace with experience and technical advances.

This SAE Standard defines and provides a means for the control of colors employed in motor vehicle external lighting equipment, including lamps and reflex reflectors. The document applies to the overall effective color of light emitted by the device in any given direction, and not to the color of the light from a small area of the lens. It does not apply to pilot, indicator, or tell-tale lights.
