In New Mexico, during which hours must your headlights be on, even when the weather is clear?
Correct answer: From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise.
Why
New Mexico requires lighted headlamps from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and at any other time when you cannot clearly see people and vehicles 500 feet ahead. The manual advises turning them on as soon as it begins to get dark, even a little early, so other drivers can see you. Never drive with only your parking lights on.
