I was once driving a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 turbodiesel truck that has fog lights and sits pretty high up off the ground (factory lift kit - nothing HUGE).
I got pulled over with fog lights and low beams on for failing to dim. Took me 15 minutes of convincing that I didn't have the brights on. He refused to believe that they were low beams.
I get crap when I drive around in a jeep, too. Everyone thinks those are brights and "gets back" at me by putting their brights on as they pass. Sometimes they do it soon enough so I can flash my brights and they'll realize.

Many tell me that right at the beginning of the stop that this is the reason why they failed to dim. I'll in turn point out to them that failing to dim is a moving violation (ie points), and having a head light out is only a waiverable fix it ticket. In the last two or three weeks out of all the stops I've had for failing to dim, I've found three motorists who had both of their low beams burned out altogether.BTW, since I know that cops watch these threads, would you please start cracking down on all these people driving with their hibeams on? I understand its a 2 point ticket. Thanks much.
