Why make things up? Nowhere in that statute is the word "residential" used or implied.
It is not "generally considered illegal", it is a clear violation of that statute to use high beams within 500 ft of an oncoming vehicle. Nothing about residential, nothing about very dark, nothing about minimal traffic.

Why do people insist on making claims without looking them up first, do they really think no one will check? Proof by emphatic assertion rarely works.
Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
