I just received one in Virginia. Apparently the ticket will be $25 but the surcharge will be $61 so it comes out to frickin $96. I'm pissed, as you can probably tell. Driving with high beams on $96? That's ridiculous.
Check fuses and high/low beam switch.

A ticket for driving with high-beams on in California has a standard fine of $234 for the violation. A court may have a payment plan for payment of the fine, as well as any other fines associated with the trial/ticket.
In New York, the fine for using high beam headlights improperly can range from $150 to $250, depending on the specific circumstances and any prior violations. Additionally, there may be associated court fees and points added to your driving record. It's important to check local regulations, as fines can vary by municipality.
May be a bad switch
Use low-beam headlights. When visibility is restricted, a driver's natural tendency is to activate the high-beam headlights. When driving in fog, this further impairs visibility because the high-beam illumination reflects off of the fog and back at your vehicle.
