It’s also why trucks in EU have regular headlamps closer to the ground compared to those in USA.

The lighting specs to sell in USA vs EU are different. Same as the reflex lens side markers. Automakers produce two sets (or more) of front and rear lights for the same vehicle model. SAE and ECE if I recall the acronyms correctly

Oh, global models have a lot more than two, several per country per model.

Not sure if we are talking the same thing. I meant the lenses specifications, not the trucks aesthetics and lighting options available per market. I.e. legally you can’t run NA lighting on European streets, and vice versa because of the reflectivity and angles of light allowed.
