    (a) Whenever a vehicle is parked or stopped upon a roadway or
shoulder adjacent thereto, whether attended or unattended, during the
hours between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise
and there is not sufficient light to reveal any person or object
within a distance of five hundred (500) feet upon such highway, such
vehicle so parked or stopped shall be equipped with one or more lamps
meeting the following requirements: At least one lamp shall display a
white or amber light visible from a distance of five hundred (500)
feet to the front of the vehicle and the same lamp or at least one
other lamp shall display a red light visible at a distance of five
hundred (500) feet to the rear of the vehicle, and the location of
said lamp or lamps shall always be such that at least one lamp or
combination of lamps meeting the requirements of this section is
installed as near as practicable to the side of the vehicle which is
closest to passing traffic.  The foregoing provisions shall not apply
to a motor-driven cycle.
    (b) Any lighted head lamps upon a parked vehicle shall be
depressed or dimmed.
