I believe NHTSA's denial likely had as much to do with the process Morgan was using as the actual merit of the argument.
From the ruling: "An inconsequentiality petition is not the appropriate means to challenge the basis or appropriateness of a requirement specified in an FMVSS. The appropriate venue for such an argument is a petition for rulemaking to amend the current safety standard."
All you state side boys need to write a letter of complaint to that nice Mr Trump.

Hi Geir Karlsen, I have to agree with you. With the lights mounted in the middle it looks like your forward view would be less obstructed. Also, re-mounting the indicator lights will mean less melting under hot conditions.
My car is due to go into build very shortly, if it were a no cost option i might go for it. But i`m not paying £1000 to find out.
Apparently this is the origin of that fugly configuration.
This is really stupid from the USA authorities. If this auto cycle is as wide as a car, safety commends that its headlights be positioned in a way that show its wideness.
But I guess Morgan 3 Wheeler owners in the States will happily put the headlights back where they belong. And they'll be safer by doing so
So in essence because the US government chose to categorise the M3W as a motorcycle, the lighting must confirm to the restraints of such for motorcycles
