I actually made the mistake of forgetting to turn the low beams on once. I blame GM, they made me so used to automatic headlights that when I had to borrow my mom's Toyota, I forgot that in some cars you have to manually turn them on.

Though I knew something was off and I caught on after a few minutes, then one minute to fidget and find the correct switch to turn them on.
In general though, I'd say my main problem with headlights during night-time driving conditions is people who keep driving with their high beams on all the time. Oh, and trucks which headlights directly illuminate the cars in front of them instead of the road.
