Default do you drive with your headlights on during the day?

I do, i think the H.I.D. headlights are one of the coolest exterior features of the car and i drive with them on even when it is bright and sunny. Also, i don't know if you all know this and i don't think it is in the owners manual, but if you hold down the "+" button on the instrument display cluster for a couple of seconds the display will fully illuminate even when the headlights are on!

I leave them on because 9 out of 10 cars around my area are monster SUVs that never seem to see me so I try to up my chances of being noticed.

I think its silly to drive w/ the lights on when the sun is out . I only turn them on when its dark.

I think with no daytime running lights, having the HIDs on during the day is critical for safety reasons. The S2000 is very low, and when you combine that with the "accident-prone" silver exterior color, I feel I need every advantage I can get. There are too many SUVs in the world.

We drive all our cars with the lights on. Its another safety feature that can only help.

harder to see a car when it's headlights are on... even during the day a little. that's why i keep mine off until i really need to turn them on, so everyone can behold the full glory of the s2000.
