I hate, hate, HATE DRLs.
DRLs are usually the highbeams so they can be seen better during the day. I understand the want for them (so others can see you better) but what I've noticed is that the sensor doesn't kick on the regular lights at dawn or dusk (when it's just dark enough to make high beams distracting or blinding to oncoming traffic). I think just the regular headlights would be a better idea.

My '94 Volvo doesn't have DRLs but it does have the headlight switch switched with the ignition (brilliant idea). Turn the car on and the lights come on, turn the car off and the lights turn off. Basically, I turned on my headlights when I bought the car about 5 years ago and haven't bothered with the switch since.

Back to the original topic... I think the switch also lets you turn on your running lamps w/o the headlights (or DRLs) being on.
