True. In fact, I use the "fog lights" (as they are called) as DRL. I rewired my headlight switch (moved one wire) so that the fog lights will come on in the #1 (park) position and changed to clear bulbs. [Turn right one click = park lamps; pull out one click = add fogs.] I have Euro headlamp assemblies with fog lamps that cast a wide, low beam and show up much better from the sides than do the headlights. They're also good for seeing roadside deer in the twilight.

An additional advantage is that I can use the "light horn" to flash the high beams, instantly going from two to four lights up front. Tends to catch the attention of people getting ready to pull out in front of me. Finally, it reduces wear on the headlight bulbs since they're used only at night.

I still have to remember to turn 'em off, but the buzzer helps.
