  • It shall be unlawful for any person to use, drive or operate a motor vehicle, except a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle, unless such vehicle is equipped with not less than two headlights attached to the front of the motor vehicle; provided, however, that such lights shall be dimmed when meeting other vehicles so as not to obscure the vision of the driver of the other vehicle, and shall be dimmed when in the well-lighted sections of the city, but shall always be burned with sufficient illumination to indicate the presence and location of the motor vehicle to which they are attached. It shall be unlawful for any person to use, drive or operate a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle unless the motorcycle or motor-driven cycle is equipped with at least one headlight meeting the requirements of this section.
