Method and apparatus are disclosed for control of vehicle headlights based on weather conditions. An example vehicle includes headlamps including low-beam lamps and high-beam lamps. The example vehicle also includes a light sensor, a camera, and a controller. The controller is to set the low-beam lamps in active mode when the light sensor detects low ambient light, monitor for precipitation in the low ambient light via the camera, identify an angle-of-incidence (AOI) between the precipitation and light emitted by the headlamps, and control the high-beam lamps based on the AOI.
