At night a driver should dim his headlights when an oncoming motor vehicle comes within 1,000 feet. You should switch your headlights from full beam to dipped beam when a oncoming car passes. It is unsafe to leave your headlights on full beam as it blinds the driver of the oncoming car.

500 feet
Within 500 feet of an oncoming car. Within 350 feet of a car you are traveling behind.
Car headlights have to be able to "dip" so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic, they therefore can switch between a "high" beam and a "dipped" beam and thus have a dual beam.
Use of Bright Beam HeadlightsUsually the use of bright beam headlights is allowed on most major highways, with the exception that most traffic codes REQUIRE that they be switched to the low beams when there is oncoming traffic.The purpose of this is to prevent or reduce the glare and chances of "blinding" the driver of oncoming vehicles, and thus to increase safety on the highways.It is not only RUDE AND CRUDE to fail to dim your headlights for oncoming traffic, but it also is usually a violation of the law.
At night yes, but in the day no because the sunlight overpowers the headlights and high beam lights.
use low beam lights within 300ft of on coming vehicles
Flash your high beams once or twice quickly
Low beams are the headlights when they are dipped. Used to light up the road just in front of you and biased towards the kerb nearest you. They also allow you to be seen clearly, but without blinding oncoming vehicles or those in front of you. When there is no other traffic to blind, the headlights should be switched to main beam, to give you the best view ahead and early warning of dangers. A blue light on the dashboard warns you when your headlights are on Main beam and blinding. If you have your headlights switched on and there is NO blue light, then your headlights are on Low beam.
