9-19-6-20. Multiple-Beam Road Lighting Equipment

Sec. 20. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the head lamps, the auxiliary driving lamp, the auxiliary passing lamp, or a combination of these lamps on motor vehicles, other than motorcycles or motor driven cycles, must be arranged so that the driver may select between distributions of light projected to different elevations. The lamps may, in addition, be arranged so that the selection can be made automatically, subject to the following limitations:
(1) There must be an uppermost distribution of light, or composite beam, aimed and of an intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least three hundred fifty (350) feet ahead for all conditions of loading.
(2) There must be a lowermost distribution of light, or composite beam, aimed and of an intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet ahead. On a straight level road, under any condition of loading, none of the high-intensity part of the beam may be directed to strike the eyes of an approaching driver.
(3) A new motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or motor driven cycle, registered in Indiana after January 1, 1956, that has multiple-beam road lighting equipment must be equipped with a beam indicator that must be lighted whenever the uppermost distribution of light from the head lamps is in use. The beam indicator must not otherwise be lighted. The beam indicator must be designed and located so that when lighted the indicator is readily visible without glare to the driver of the vehicle so equipped.
