(A) During the period from sunset to sunrise, or at any other time when visibility is so limited as to require the use of lights for safety, every motorcycle shall carry and exhibit one lighted lamp commonly known as a driving light and every other motor vehicle two such lighted driving lamps showing white lights, or lights of a yellow or amber tint, visible at least 500 feet in the direction toward which each motorcycle or motor vehicle is proceeding. Parking lamps may be used in addition to but not in lieu of any such driving lamps. Each motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer shall also exhibit at least two lighted lamps which shall be mounted on the left rear and right rear of the vehicle so as to throw a red light visible for at least 500 feet in the reverse direction; except that, a motorcycle need be equipped with only one such lamp.
(B) (1) Either a tail lamp or a separate lamp shall be so constructed and placed as to illuminate with a white light or rear registration plate when required and render it clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear.
(2) Any tail lamp or tail lamps, together with any separate lamp or lamps for illuminating a rear registration plate, shall be so wired as to be lighted whenever the head lamp or auxiliary driving lamps are lighted.
