Are you running daytime running lights voluntarily? I'm partial to them and want to see how many people are running daytime running lights... Mine came from the dealer set on.

Have 'em on but just installed Sylvania Silver Star white light bulbs for my DRL so they don't look yellowish anymore.

I accidentally posted a null vote but I have DRL and I think they are required by law. My understanding is that all new cars in Canada must have DRL but I don't know whether it's actually illegal to deactivate them.

I had the dealer enable them on my 2005 545. I really like it.
Have read a few reports about the chances of your car being involved in an accident is lesser with DRL as other drivers are more 'aware' of your car. I can vouch for this as I 'notice' other cars with DRL quicker, when I drive.
