The centre of each low-beam headlight fitted as a pair on a motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels must be at least 600mm apart. However, subsection (1) does not apply to a motor vehicle built before 1970 if the centres of its low-beam headlights— were less than 600mm apart when the vehicle was built; and are not nearer than they were when the vehicle was built. Each low-beam headlight of a pair of headlights fitted to a motortrike with 2 front wheels, other than a moped, must not be more than 400mm from the nearer side of the motortrike. The centre of a low-beam headlight fitted to a motor vehicle built after June 1953 must be— at least 500mm above ground level; and not more than 1.4m above ground level.
