These are all the regs for lighting:
9.4 Lighting
Solar cars must have lighting as outlined below. All lights required in this regulation shall be at least as bright as the reference standard defined in Appendix C from 30 m away throughout the required viewing angles as defined below. Inspection for the viewing angles and light intensity can be conducted at any point within the defined distance and view angles. All positions are to the center of the light emitting portion of the light.
9.4.A Daytime Running Lights
9.4.A.1 Position: shall be located at least 600 mm apart (at least 400 mm apart if the car is less than 1300 mm wide), at least 250 mm above the ground, and at a distance no further back than 200 mm from the absolute front of the vehicle.
...
9.4.A.4 Operation: The Daytime Running Lights shall operate whenever driving is possible (motor power is enabled). It is permissible to disable the running light while the co-located front turn indicator is in operation. The turn indicator has the priority in operation.
9.4.B Front Turn Indicators
9.4.B.1 Position: shall be located at least 600 mm apart (at least 400 mm apart if the car is less than 1300 mm wide), at least 350 mm above the ground, and at a distance no further back than 175 mm from the absolute front of the vehicle.
...
9.4.B.4 Viewing Angle: 80° from center in outwards, 45° from center in inwards (see Figure 1), 5° down, and 15° up from horizontal. 9.4.B.5 Operation: If the co-located Daytime Running Light is not disabled during turn indicator operation, the turn indicator shall be visible with the running light on.
9.4.C Side Marker Turn Indicators
9.4.C.1 Position: shall be mounted on each side of the vehicle between 500 and 1800 mm rearward from the absolute front of the vehicle and within 400 mm of the extreme outer edge of the car.
...
9.4.C.4 Viewing Angle: 5° down and 15° up from horizontal, horizontal visibility as shown in Figure 1:
...
9.4.D Rear Brake Lights
9.4.D.1 Position: shall be located within 400 mm of the extreme outer edge of the car on each side, at least 600 mm apart (400 mm if the car is less than 1300 mm wide), at least 350 mm above the ground, and at a distance no further forward than 200 mm from the absolute rear of the vehicle.
...
9.4.D.5 Operation: Brake lights should operate if and only if the driver presses the brake pedal or regenerative braking is active.
9.4.E Rear Turn Indicators
9.4.E.1 Position: shall be located within 400 mm of the extreme outer edge of the car on each side, at least 600 mm apart (400 mm if the car is less than 1300 mm wide), at least 350 mm above the ground and at a distance no further forward than 200 mm from the absolute rear of the vehicle.
...
9.4.E.4 Color: amber (if separately equipped from Rear Brake Lights - does this mean they can be red otherwise?)
9.4.E.5 Viewing Angle: 80° from center outwards, 45° from center inwards, 5° down, and 15° up from horizontal.
9.4.F High Mounted Center Brake Light
9.4.F.1 Position: Viewed from behind the solar car, the lateral position of the light shall coincide with the visual center of the solar car (see the examples in the following diagram). The top of the lamp shall be less than 150mm below the highest point of the car, and the bottom of the lamp shall be higher than the top of the rear brake lights.
...
9.4.F.3 Viewing Angle: 10° from center in both left and right, and 10° up and 5° down from horizontal.
9.4.G BPS Fault Indicator
9.4.G.1 Position: located immediately above the center brake light, see 9.4.F.1
...
9.4.G.5 Viewing Angle: 10° from center in both directions and 10° up from horizontal.
9.4.H Emergency Hazard
The front turn indicators, side marker turn indicators, and rear turn indicators shall be able to be activated simultaneously and flash in sync as an Emergency Hazard sig
