Correct answer: When another car approaches from the opposite direction.

According to Art. 51 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, you must switch from high-beam headlights to low-beam headlights when approaching an oncoming vehicle. This should be done from a distance that does not dazzle the other driver, as this is extremely dangerous and could lead to a head-on collision.
