The legal answer varies by jurisdiction; in most North American states and provinces the legal requirement is along the lines of requiring headlamps one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise, and in conditions of reduced visibility such as inclement weather. Some states and provinces are adopting laws requiring that the headlamps be turned on whenever the windshield wipers are operating (except for brief operation to clear away a splash or clean the windshield).

Practically, you should use the headlamps whenever they are necessary or helpful to your seeing or being seen. Always only ever use low beams, never high beams, in bad weather or if there is any driver on the road in front of you in either direction. And remember that a vehicle's daytime running lights, even if they are implemented by operating the headlamps in one or another manner, are not an adequate substitute for the full/real headlamps.
