IMHO, this is not good advice. The law here (CA) says you must have headlights ON when it is dark. Also, the point of headlights is to be more visible, regardless of surrounding light. From that point of view, I consider using the headlamp and tail lamp even when it is not yet dark... I also wear a white helmet, since my clothing may or may not be visible at dusk (I wear reflective clothing, but it only reflects if the other guy has his/her lights on...).
