I hope you are very patient. Nice idea but it won't happen for years (if ever). By then we will all be driving cars (or Zimmer Frames) that automatically charge you by not just the mile, time of day but by how aggressively you use the throttle and brakes. DRL will be the least of peoples worries.

I Like these type found on newer Audis



But these type do nothing for a car but make it look tacky and cheap imo.

Just a cheap way of complying with DRL law.

The stop/start is pretty annoying too if you forget to override it! The starter and battery are never going to last
