        (a)  Time of operation.--Every snowmobile or ATV operated
     during hours of darkness shall display a lighted head lamp and
     tail lamp. The lights shall be in operation during the period of
     from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise
     and at any time when, due to insufficient light or unfavorable
     atmospheric conditions caused by fog or otherwise, other
     persons, vehicles and other objects are not clearly discernible
     for a distance of 500 feet ahead.
        (b)  Head lamp requirements.--The head lamp shall display
     white light of sufficient illuminating power to reveal any
     person, vehicle or substantial object at a distance of 100 feet
     ahead.
            (1)  If the snowmobile or ATV is equipped with a multiple
        beam head lamp, the upper beam shall meet the minimum
        requirements set forth in this section and the lowermost beam
        shall be so aimed and of sufficient intensity to reveal
        persons and vehicles at a distance of at least 50 feet ahead.
            (2)  If the snowmobile or ATV is equipped with a single
        beam head lamp, the lamp shall be so aimed that when the
        vehicle is loaded none of the high intensity portion of the
        light, at a distance of 75 feet ahead, projects higher than
        the level of the center of the lamp from which it comes.
        (c)  Tail lamp requirements.--The tail lamp shall display a
     red light plainly visible during darkness from a distance of 500
     feet.
