I think just the regular headlights would be a better idea.

I'm the opposite, I love them. In my car ( a Toyota Rav4) they are the high beams with a reduced load. In the old days (th '80's) I would automatically turn on headlights as a good habit, but sometimes forget to turn them off. I noticed that it was not as accepted in the US, where people would come out of their way (in parking lots etc) just to tell me that I had my lights on.
My car doesn't have an outomatic switch over when it gets dark, and I have often driven with my drl's only until I look down and notice that the dashboard isn't lit up.
