Can you use your bright headlights on an interstate?

In general, using bright headlights on a well-lit interstate is not recommended and may be illegal. Bright headlights are typically intended for use on dark or unlit roads to enhance visibility and illuminate a longer distance. However, on well-lit interstates, the ambient lighting provided by street lights or other sources is usually sufficient, and using bright headlights can be blinding and distracting for oncoming drivers.

Furthermore, in many states and jurisdictions, there are specific regulations governing the use of headlights, including bright or high beams, on public roads. These regulations may prohibit the use of bright headlights in certain conditions, such as when driving on well-lit streets or highways, or when there is oncoming traffic.

To ensure safety and compliance with local regulations, it is generally advisable to use low beam headlights when driving on well-lit interstates and to switch to bright headlights only when necessary in poorly lit areas or on dark, rural roads.
