In Texas, you are not required to turn on your headlights until 30 minutes AFTER sunset or up to 30 minutes before sunrise.

Not to make light of things......but that is, unfortunately, a qualified comment.

In states which require head lamps/head lights to be turned on during inclimate weather, there are a lot and I mean a LOT of people who do not know the difference between these and the running lights that are on all the time.

Ahem....according to Ohio Code 4513.03, the time to turn on headlights is AT sunset and until sunrise, and at anytime when conditions warrant the use of windshield wipers.

I am 60 years old and when I first took the driving test to get my license in Ohio, when I was a mere 16 year old whippersnapper, the law was from 30 minutes before sunset until 30 minutes after sunrise, , LOL.

P.S. Dang Ohio Republications, they changed the law because they is against safety, LOL.
