(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.
