These specific photometric requirements for vehicular low beam and high beam headlamps, as set forth in SAE Standard J1383, are included hereinbelow. TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 PHOTOMETRIC SPECIFICATION - LOW BEAM Low Beam Minimum (cd) Maximum (cd) 10U to 90U, 45.degree. R to 45.degree. L 125 8L to 8 R, H to 4U 64 4L to 4R, H to 2U 125 1U to 11/2 L to L 700 1/2U to 11/2L to L 1000 1/2D to 11/2L to L 3000 11/2U to 1R to R 1400 1/2U to 1R, 2R, 3R 2700 1/2D to 11/2R 8000 20000 1D to 6L 750 11/2D to 2R 15000 11/2D to 9L and 9R 750 2D to 15L and 15R 700 4D to 4R 8000

    [0008] TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 PHOTOMETRIC SPECIFICATION - HIGH BEAM High Beam Minimum (cd) Maximum (cd) 2U to V 1500 1U to 3R and 3L 5000 H to V 20000 75000 H to 3R and 3L 10000 H to 6R and 6L 3250 H to 9R and 9L 2000 H to 12R and 12L 500 11/2D to V 5000 11/2D to 9R and 9L 1500 21/2D to V 2000 21/2D to 12R and 12L 750 4D to V 12500 Maximum Beam Candela.sup.(1) 30000 .sup.(1)The highest candela reading found in the beam pattern

    [0009] SAE J578, entitled "Color Specification", sets forth the definition for white light as applied to headlamps. The definition applies to the overall effective color of light emitted by a headlamp in any given direction and not to the color of the light from a small area of the lens. In SAE J578, the fundamental requirements for color are expressed as chromaticity coordinates according to the CIE (1931) standard calorimetric system.

    [0010] Pursuant to SAE J578, the following requirements for white light shall apply when measured by the tristimulus or spectrophotometric methods, as are well known in the art. TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 4 WHITE LIGHT (ACHROMATIC) The color of light emitted from the headlamp shall fall within the following boundaries: x = 0.31 (blue boundary) x = 0.50 (yellow boundary) y = 0.15 + 0.64x (green boundary) y = 0.05 + 0.75x (purple boundary) y = 0.44 (green boundary) y = 0.38 (red boundary)
    See, it makes perfect sense doesn't!!

    Basically you can have a certain degree of different light colors in your light, but I dontk now the conversion factors on what it is.
