Until it became illegal in New Jersey last year, my practice
was to turn on my parking lights just about when the sun set,
and defer turning on the headlights until they would actually
do some good -- in other words, when the area became darker
than the relatively feeble beam from the headlights.

My theory in doing this was that parking lights alone would
make my car much more visible, but why bother with headlights
unless they're needed?

Now the law is that headlights must be on no later than half
an hour past sunset, so I turn them on just about at sunset.
