Every US state—including Michigan—and every Canadian province has laws specifying when you must dip from high to low beams in terms of distance to a leading or oncoming vehicle. Michigan requires every motorist to use low beams (not high beams) within 500 feet of oncoming traffic per MCL 257.700 . Violation code 2740 covers Failure to Dim, Driving with Glaring Lights (which also means misaimed lights) and various other headlamp-related infractions. 2 points and fines and fees totalling up to $130.
