CHAPTER 24 HOUSE BILL No. 2221 (Amended by Chapter 100) An Act regulating traffic; concerning certain lighting equipment; amending K.S.A. 8-1723
and repealing the existing section. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

      Section  1. K.S.A. 8-1723 is hereby amended to read as follows: 8-
1723. (a) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not more than two
side cowl or fender lamps which shall emit an amber or white light with-
out glare.

      (b) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not more than one
running-board courtesy lamp on each side which shall emit a white or
amber light without glare.

      (c) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with one or more back-up
lamps either separately or in combination with other lamps, but any such
back-up lamp or lamps shall not be lighted when the motor vehicle is in
forward motion.

      (d) Any vehicle 80 inches or more in overall width, if not otherwise
required by K.S.A. 8-1710, and amendments thereto, may be equipped
with not more than three identification lamps showing to the front which
shall emit an amber light without glare and not more than three identi-
fication lamps showing to the rear which shall emit a red light without
glare. Such lamps shall be mounted as specified in subsection (g) of K.S.A.
8-1710, and amendments thereto.

      (e) Any vehicle may be equipped with one or more side marker lamps
and any such lamp may be flashed in conjunction with turn or vehicular

illuminating the ground below the motor vehicle creating a halo light
