there is I believe a big flaw in DRL is some vehicles, specific mfg include toyota and ford. If the DRL are on, the dash lights are also on. BAD BAD BAD. In vehicles I have had with DRL if the DRL were on, the dash lights were OFF. Hence when it got dark it would be pretty obvious to the driver the headlights weren't on, or at least the driver should be wondering why he/she can't see the dash cluster!! In this case, IMHO the vehicles should be required to have automatic headlights as well.
Personally, I like our GM vehicles with the combination DRL and automatic lights. headlights come on with the wipers, and even going through shadows in the road.
The dash lights on my F250 are not on unless my headlights are on. they do not come on with the DRL.
