Sec. 489(52). Acetylene lights.

Motor vehicles may be equipped with two acetylene head lamps
of approximately equal candle power when equipped with clear
plain glass fronts, bright six inch spherical mirrors and standard
acetylene five-eighths foot burners not more and not less and which

project a driving light sufficient to render clearly discernible a
person upon the roadway within a distance of two hundred feet
but must not project a glaring or dazzling light into the eyes of
approaching drivers.
