There are arguments that it uses more fuel, and is environmentally unfriendly, but safety first... DRL's are the way of the future...

whats wrong with DRL??? its on once the hand/foot brake been released. its a requirement in North America 15 yrs ago and proves that accident rate reduced by 10-15%. Australia just so behind and still not enforce to have that on every car.

Got any links to prove that?
I found this on wikipedia.

Numerous studies done worldwide since the 1970s have tended to conclude that daytime running lights improve safety.[2][3][4] A 2008 study by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration analysed the effect of DRLs on frontal and side-on crashes between two vehicles and on vehicle collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. The analysis determined that DRLs offer no statistically-significant reduction in the frequency or severity of the collisions studied, except for a reduction in light trucks' and vans' involvement in two-vehicle crashes by a statistically-significant 5.7%.[5]

I can't see how a bunch of LED's are gonna make you see a 2 metre wide car any better.

And what is the difference between DRL's and putting your parkers on?

[curtis265]

Same thing - essentially, light is light

Wouldn't you still get busted by the Cops cause its not Factory?

I had my Foggies on the other night at an RBT and the coplady just looked the other way! Lucky!!!

What about putting the DRL strip LED's along the bottom of the inside of the headlight? or are they a sealed unit? And too tricky to do?
