Head lamps arranged to provide a single

equipment specified in this chapter, if the single distribution of light
meets the following requirements:
(1) The head lamps must be aimed so that when the vehicle is not
loaded none of the high-intensity part of the light will:
(A) at a distance of twenty-five (25) feet ahead, project higher
than a level of five (5) inches below the level of the center of
the lamp from which light comes; and
(B) at a distance of seventy-five (75) feet ahead, project higher
than forty-two (42) inches above the level on which the vehicle
stands.
(2) The intensity must be sufficient to reveal persons and vehicles
at a distance of at least two hundred (200) feet.
