Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to specify safety requirements for lamps that are
added, substituted, or modified, and their installation on a low volume vehicle, that will provide safe
driving visibility to the driver, and that will increase the conspicuousness of the vehicle for other
road users during all driving conditions and weather types.

Background
The NZ Car Construction Manual (referred to as the ‘CCM’, and previously entitled the NZ Hobby Car Technical Manual) is a comprehensive technical manual encompassing the many aspects of vehicle design, modification and construction. Over the years the scope of the manual has expanded to encompass many types of modified vehicles. It is developed by the Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association Inc (LVVTA) and is incorporated by reference into the LVV Standards, which are in turn incorporated by reference in the NZ Land Transport Rules.
The CCM first became available for purchase online on the 1st of November 2016. Electronic downloads of the NZ Car Construction Manual became free-of-charge on the 1st of February 2021.
