I have to say, daytime running lights saved my butt one day. I'm crusin down the street one gloomy day. I didn't turn the lights on which I should have because it was pretty dark out with all the clouds and stuff. This guy decided to be Mario Andretti and switched lanes so fast that if I didn't have the daytime lights he wouldn't have seen me and side swap me!!! So thank God I didn't take them off, I was plaining on it but now forget it... This is my experience, you never know. Good luck..
