Headlights tips
Minnesota law states that every vehicle on a roadway shall display lighted headlamps, lighted tail lamps, and illuminating devices from sunset to sunrise.
The law also applies when it’s raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing and at times when visibility (at a distance of 500 feet ahead) is impaired by weather or insufficient light.
