twenty-two (22) inches to be measured as set forth in subsection B

of Section 12-202 of this title.

C. The headlamps on motor vehicles shall be so arranged that

the driver may select at will between distributions of light

projected to different elevations and such lamps may, in addition,

be so arranged that such selection can be made automatically,

subject to the following limitations:

composite beam, so aimed and of such intensity as to reveal persons

and vehicles at a distance of at least six hundred (600) feet ahead

for all conditions of loading;

2. There shall be a lowermost distribution of light, or

composite beam, so aimed and of sufficient intensity to reveal

persons and vehicles at a distance of at least two hundred (200)

none of the high-intensity portion of the beam shall be directed to

strike the eyes of an approaching driver.

equipment shall be equipped with a beam indicator, which shall be

lighted whenever the uppermost distribution of light from the

headlamps is in use, and shall not otherwise be lighted.
