When should headlights be used?

Headlights serve both to let you see the road and to make your vehicle visible to others. The rule covers two situations: the time of day and the weather/visibility conditions. You should have headlights on from sunset to sunrise and any time conditions reduce visibility, such as fog, rain, snow, or heavy glare. This means you use headlights not just at night or when it’s raining, but any time you can’t clearly see well ahead or when other drivers might have trouble seeing you.
