In the UK
I was of course referring to the British rebuilds! In the new book will be examples of the myriad of British civilan commercial conversions. Some entered the British market with just one headlamp! There were also examples where headlamps were indetalled in the original positions. General Motors Limited did this style for instance.
I did find other countries' regulations interesting. I did think that as so many of the rebuilds used new axles and tyres that this may have affected headlamp height as well, so this may well be another reason why it was a popular decision to remotely mount the headlamps. I am sure I have seen lamps that must have been spotlights with no dipping facility and thus fixed in an anti-dazzle position but I may well be mistaken.
This is a view showing a typical arrangement with new sidelights on the wheelarches and lamps bracketed in almost the original positions.
