If these are used as DRL, how are people wiring them into the ignition?

Bad idea though...austria introduced them a few years back then made a u turn when accidents increased...looks like some berk in an office ignored this evidence when deciding for our country.[/quote]

How did they prove the DRL's were the root of the problem? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Suggestion is that more vulnerable road users (pedestrians & cyclists) were missed by drivers being dazzled by DRL equipped cars and perhaps complacancy by some 'no DRL coming, safe to go'... and miss the none DRL vehicle/road user or a 'they'll see me, I've got DRLs' mentality. Apparently in Austria accident rates dropped after DRLs were banned. 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red
