Rationale: There is a need to allign with other lamp standards (e.g., SAE J584, SAE J585, SAE J586, CMVSS 108, SAE J1623, SAE J1383, SAE J2442, UNECE R113, etc.). This results in some changes to the definitions, relocation of some texts, conversion of the photometry table to a graphical representation (no technical changes to photometry requirements), and installation requirements amendments. There is need to clarify the document and to better allign it with SAE J575 test methods for lighting equipment. In this revision, sequentially, the test methods are first defined, and then the performance expectations are defined. The order of the tests now match that of SAE J575. This is in line with the structures of SAE J584, SAE J585, and SAE J586.
