![]() Removing the blue-violet portion of a lamp's output to obtain selective yellow light can entail filter losses of around 15%, though the effect of this reduction is said to be mitigated or countervailed by the increased visual acuity available with yellow rather than white light in bad weather. These wavelengths are difficult for the human visual system to process properly, and they cause perceived dazzle and glare effects in rain, fog and snow. The intent of selective yellow is to improve vision by removing short, blue to violet wavelengths from the projected light. ![]() ![]() However, selective yellow headlamps remain permitted throughout Europe on vehicles already so equipped, as well as in non-European locales such as Japan and New Zealand. Meanwhile, ECE Regulation 48 (enforced 08 October 2016) requires new vehicles to be equipped with headlamps emitting white light. Under ECE regulations, headlamps were formerly permitted to be either white or selective yellow-in France, selective yellow was mandatory for all vehicles' road-illumination lamps until 1993.īoth the internationalized European ECE Regulation 19 and North American SAE standard J583 permit selective yellow front fog lamps. Selective yellow is a colour for automotive lamps, particularly headlamps and other road-illumination lamps such as fog lamps.
