    For some reason I thought that Daytime Running Lights were required in the US, but apparently they’re not (they should be!). I feel like most newer cars I see have them, but I can’t say I’ve been taking a careful inventory.

      even on cars that have them, it can be a setting rather than what automatically happens. one car i drove had a normal daytime setting but i thought it was the highbeams since an even lower ‘running light’ existed.

      there is no reason for normal people to have the option to turn them off, a film crew or photographer can get technical and under the hood if they need to
