Off, Im gonna do parking lights as drls. Don't want the led heads burning out prematurely, I know they're way more to replace than the parking light bulb.
Agreed. 👍

ON - because there have been way too many people who seem to NOT see my Maverick. Too many close calls over the last two years. May have to rethink the color gray in the future.

ON. 100%

I even went in and set my rear lights to be DRL's with FORScan. Why manufacturers only do front DRL's baffles me.

On for safety but change in Forscan to parking/turn signals with switchbacks for white DRLs.

On, because I'm not an idiot.

It was a cloudy morning, and it took me a half second longer to notice cars that didn't have any lights on this morning driving to the grocery store. Like I saw them, obviously -- but nowhere near as quickly as the cars that had lights on.

And that half a second can make all the difference.

On for sure . makes a difference in visibility for other drivers . headlights on motorcycles on mandatory for years . That is so hopefully it makes you visible to other drivers . I also always wear a helmet when riding mc .

On, as we always say around here, Safety Third! lol
Always ON. Protection for yourself and others. Far easier to see a vehicle with its lights on than without. Motorcycles have been doing this for years.

DRL's = ON! I recall reading a study General Motors did, either in the 70's or early 80's. It found DRL's, or at the time, driving with your headlights on, increased the awareness of other drivers of the vehicle using DRL's and reduced accidents.

Particularly in low light conditions. Also think about gray, silver and light and metallic blue etc. In low light or fog - they are almost invisible.

So for those of use who focus on safety, DRL's are one additional tool to accomplish that.
