I wanted to explain how good headlamp aim must be in our top priorities and I asked Canadian DVN Chief Editor Daniel Stern to write about it. His article, published last week, focused on one proposal to improve the headlamp aim situation.
We received a lot of negative feedback, mostly expressing a failure to understand why DVN decided to publish a paper that goes against the work of GTB, and the direction being followed in GRE. So, I asked former GTB president Geoff Draper to write a follow-up, which we publish this week, highlighting his assessment of the many attempts of GTB and GRE to find agreement to update the regulations by defining improved headlamp photometric performance and aiming requirements. He identifies the main issues to be resolved before a revised regulation can be introduced and describes the strong will of GRE and its SLR Informal group to develop the new requirements.
We also bring you today a very interesting article by Volvo’s Paul-Henri Matha, who neatly summarises the status of aiming.
Let us all hope we will arrive soon at a regulation which will solve the longstanding problems of headlamp aim!
Sincerely yours
