In France :

Headlights always were required for motorcycles.

About cars, the law recently changed. New production cars must be equipped with so-called “day lights” that are often white LED strips around the real headlight bulbs. But older cars hare not forced to turn the daylights on all the time; this would be an issue since many cars with LCD dashboards have the display dimmed when the headlights are on, thus making it harder to read on a sunny day.
