I believe the international signal to tell someone to turn their high beams off is to flash your own high beams quickly a couple times. If they still don't get the point then just slow down and cover the brake, they will pass by quick enough. You could even try to block the light temporarily with your free hand if you are comfortable doing so.

Should you only use your high beams on country roads at nights only?
High beams should be used only when there is no oncoming traffic, fog, snow or heavy rain. The reason for oncoming traffic is obvious - you don't want your lights to cause glare or vision problems for the oncoming drivers.But the reasons for using low beam in fog, snow and heavy rain is because when your lights are on low beam, they are directed downward toward the road, and not directed towards the distance, which enables you to see the road better in poor visibility conditions.Many drivers think low beam is a "dimming" of the lights, but it's actually more of a 'pointing downward' of the beam. So when your lights are in low beam, it gives you greater vision in poor driving conditions by training the lights downward on the road instead of towards the distance.
When should you drive with your low beam lights on?
Your low beam lights should be on when driving after sunset (twilight) and when it is raining. Some states require headlights or daytime running lights to be on in various conditions or at various times.You should not use your high-beam lights when you are closely behind another vehicle, or when approaching another vehicle head-on on a two-way road.
