Hella Daytime Running Light LED's....
cmdrfire:
I generally drive with my sidelights on all the time during the day, and switch to full-beams quite early. As a note, Mk6 Golfs/Sciroccos come with their full beams on all the time now by default; the "Auto" mode on the headlight switch just changes turns on the interior lighting now, effectively.
More lights = more visibility = more safe.

....Full beams literally, or dipped headlights?
That's bad imo - Proper LED DRL's are much more considerate to other road users (incl bikers!).
Rear lights on by default too? - Again bad as they will diffuse the visibility of brake lights. Duh!!

Dipped beams, as Volvo has been doing for a number of years.
Frankly I support using dipped beam over DRLs* (though as people object to full beams DRLs are fine). Rear lights are on by default as well - the intensity of brake light shouldn't be affected by a rear light.
*If I had my way we'd be driving with dipped beam, rear lights, and US-style orange sidemarkers on the front wings and at the extreme rear corners of the vehicle. This is perhaps an engineering-centric viewpoint with little or no regard or recourse for other viewpoints, so I'm maybe not the one to listen to about this :P

You and I are totally agreed for the need for and safety advantages of Daylight Running Lights, we have different opinions about what form they take - 'Volvoesque Headlights vs Audiesque LEDs'.
