Most lighting devices on motor vehicles today are required by law and are essential to operation on public roadways. Additionally, most lighting devices have replaceable light sources (bulbs). To assure field replacement, it is important that bulb types employed be readily available in normal service channels. This document attempts to define the physical, electrical, and photometric characteristics necessary to achieve a proper replacement for popular types of bulbs. Some of the design characteristics in this document are listed solely for the sake of standardization and are not intended to describe the performance of lighting devices (lamp assemblies) on the vehicle.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides definitions of common terms used in SAE Technical Reports pertaining to motor vehicle lighting. It covers not only basic lighting terms but also terms which identify major segments of technical reports.

Many of the lighting devices on motor vehicles are legally required and arc essential to safe operation on the highway. To maintain performance, it is important that the bulb and sealed unit types employed he readily available, when needed, throughout the country in normal service channels. Therefore, this SAE Standard lists an assortment of current popular types, together with their characteristics, which are recommended for use wherever practicable. It is recognized that because of constantly changing and improving technology, the list may be incomplete. Also, instances may arise in the design of some devices which require the employment of other types while achieving the desired performance.
