been proven over and over that daytime running lights can be seen a lot easier and will get notice a lot of times when you wouldn't see the oncoming car! Particularly in cases where the sun is in the other drivers eyes. If I were going down the road I hope the oncoming cars see that I am there. Don't start passing that slowpoke~ I'm in the other lane!
I think DRL work best in locales that have lots of rainy, foggy, overcast weather, conditions not quite dark enough to bother turning on the headlights. Here in SoCal it's not a big help... even at dusk conditions are fairly clear to make-out other vehicles.
I don't get it. It's bright as heck outside and mine are on--should I turn them off or on?
What's the advantage? My lights automatically turn on when it gets dark, but why would I want my DRL on?
Being seen.
My motorcycle headlight is on anytime the cycle is running. I always have it on High Beam during the daytime, because that shines the light higher and closer to people's line of vision. If it keeps people from pulling out in front of me, it's a good thing!
My previous vehicle did not have DRL, I would just leave my headlights on all the time.
