My DRL's have been on since day 1 and I have yet to replace a single bulb on the truck. 4 1/2 years and 95K+ miles. I like the auto feature for the headlights.

On the trucks with halogen headlights, they are run at reduced voltage when they are in DRL mode. The models with the dedicated DRL, those are LED (IIRC).
You can also turn off DRL in ForScan.

I understand it is a personal preference on using or not using the DRL, but why would you not want to have them on? Riding motorcycles has taught me a few things and one of them is its good to be seen, and headlights make you be seen.

If a driver of a car or motorcycle can’t see another vehicle on the road in the daytime without said vehicle having DRL’s, that driver should use public transportation or hire a car service.

Before DRL’s were brought to market, I’m pretty sure 99.9% of drivers of cars or motorcycles didn’t have any trouble seeing or being seen by other drivers on the road.
