Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the head lamps or the auxiliary driving lamp or the auxiliary passing lamp or their combinations on motor vehicles other than a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle shall be so arranged that selection may be made between distributions of light projected to different elevations, and the lamps may be so arranged that the selection can be made automatically, subject to the following requirements and limitations:

(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 one hundred (100) feet ahead.

The 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.
