Driving, fog, and passing lamps shall be centered on a goniometer, operated at design voltage, and aimed in a dark room on a perpendicular screen 7.5 m (25 ft) from the lamp. The goniometer shall be adjusted until the observer considers the visual aim on the screen to be correct in accordance with Sections 674, 675, or 680 of this title. Each of three experienced observers shall aim the lamp at least three times and each observer's goniometer settings shall be individually averaged.
