Lighting:
Animal-drawn vehicles should be equipped with a battery operated lighting system or a generator powered lighting system. Batteries may be typical storage, deep cycle or gel cell and should conform to SAE J537.

At least two headlamps, conforming to SAE J975, should be mounted symmetrically about the vehicle centerline facing forward on the front of the vehicle in a position which provides the least blockage from the drawing animal(s).

At least two red tail lamps, conforming to SAE J585, should be mounted symmetrically about the vehicle centerline on the rear of the vehicle and as widely spaced laterally as practical and between .6 and 3 m (2 and 10 ft) high.

At least two flashing amber warning lamps conforming to SAE J974 should be mounted symmetrically about the centerline and as widely spaced laterally as practicable. They should be visible from front and rear, and mounted between 1 and 3.7 m (3.3 and 12 ft) high.

Optional turn signal system may be incorporated into the rear red tail lamps or the flashing amber lamps. If they are incorporated into the flashing amber lamps or read tail lamps, the lamp that is positioned on the side of the turn should flash and the lamp on the side away from the turn should go to steady burn.

Marking:
Marking for the rear of the vehicle should be 50mm by 230mm (2" by 9") strips alternating between red retroreflective material and red orange fluorescent material. The material should be used to outline the sides and top of the rear of the vehicle. (See diagrams for examples.)

Where local culture prohibits the use of red and or red orange materials, white retroreflective material with a minimum width of 25mm (1"), may be used. If white retroreflective material is used, two red reflex reflectors should be mounted symmetrically about the centerline as widely spaced laterally as practicable. (See diagrams for examples)

Marking for the front of the vehicle should be 50mm by 230mm (2" by 9") strips of yellow retroreflective material. At least 2 strips should be placed symmetrically about the centerline as widely spaced as practicable on the front of the machine. (See diagrams for examples.)

Where local culture prohibits the use of yellow material, white retroreflective material with a minimum width of 25mm (1"), may be used.

Marking for the side of the vehicle should be 50mm by 230mm (2" by 9") strips of yellow retroreflective material. A minimum of two strips should be symmetrically spaced and mounted along each side of the vehicle frame. If the vehicle is equipped with a tongue or shaft that is visible on the outside of the animal, an additional yellow strip should be placed on it. (See diagrams for examples.)

Where local culture prohibits the use of yellow material, white retroreflective material with a minimum width of 25mm (1"), may be used.

Optional yellow or white retroreflective material may be attached to the harness or to the animal's legs to enhance visibility.
