My only complaint is that the high-beam indicator is on (lower brightness) when the DRL's are on, going off when the headlights are turned on -- a bit confusing.

Not entirely. They should be mandatory on all silver vehicles at the very least.

Honestly, I don't see the connection. If you feel wussified with DRL's then the problem isn't the DRL's.

Being a motorcycle rider, I hate DRLs. Bikes used to be very visable in daylight as they were the only ones with lights on. Now they blend in with the cars with DRLs.

I agree (also a rider).

This is why I ride with my highbeams on when in heavy traffic volume or on backroads. 10X more visible in daylight that way.
