Except as hereinafter provided in this part, the headlights or the auxiliary driving light or the auxiliary pass-
ing light or combination thereof on motor vehicles other than motorcycles or motor driven cycles shall be

and such lights may, in addition, be so arranged that such selection can be made automatically, subject to the
following limitations:
(1) There shall be an uppermost distribution of light, or composite beam, so aimed and of such intensity as to
reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least 350 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 100 feet ahead; and on a straight level road under any
condition of loading none of the high intensity portion of the beam shall be directed to strike the eyes of an
approaching driver;
(3) Every new motor vehicle other than a motorcycle or a motor driven cycle registered in this state which
has multiple-beam road lighting equipment shall be equipped with a beam indicator which shall be lighted
whenever the uppermost distribution of light from the headlights is in use and shall not otherwise be lighted.
Such indicator shall be so designed and located that when lighted it will be readily visible without glare to
the driver of the vehicle so equipped.
