Turn Signal Lamps for Use on Motor Vehicles Less than 2032 mm in Overall Width
J588
This SAE Standard provides test procedures, requirements, and guidelines for turn signal lamps intended for use on vehicles of less than 2032 mm in overall width.
Rationale: Combine the turn signal requirements from SAE J2261 Stop Lamps and Front- and Rear-Turn Signal Lamps for Use on Motor Vehicles 2032 mm or More in Overall Width into SAE J588. The intent is to cancel SAE J2261, since there isn't a need for 2 documents to exist with virtually the same requirements for vehicles over and under 2032mm in overall width.
Improve the current requirements for evaluating and judging the appearance of a sequential turn signal's path while retaining the ability of a tall thin turn signal to activate / deactivate sequentially.
