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;

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.
