Here in North Carolina it is required that a driver dim his lights from high to low beam to prevent glare to another driver, including when following a vehicle closer than 200 feet. In other words, it would be illegal to drive at night with your high beam on full time, unless there is no other traffic.
You should search for the traffic laws in California for specific information that applies to you, but it's hard to imagine that there isn't a similar law.
In the daytime here, some motorcycle riders do ride with their high beam on, and some motorcycle safety information suggests it's a good thing to do. They usually don't get in trouble for it, but it probably depends on the judgment of the particular officer who you're shining your high beam into the eyes of.
