At what distance from an approaching car do you need to dim your headlights?

Be considerate in using your high beams. Your headlights must be on low beam when you are within 500 feet (150 m) of an approaching vehicle, or within 200 feet (60 m) of a vehicle ahead of you, even if the vehicle ahead is in a different lane. You should also dim your lights for pedestrians approaching you. http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/dmanual/chapter10-manual.htm (Alaska and Oregon are the same as New York - 500 feet.)
