DOT and the Insurance co's actually say very little about DRL's. But there is a lot of data showing they are highly effective - especially in bright sunny conditions on dry pavement, when most accidents occur.

It's not a scam by lamp manufacturers, though they would obviously stand to benefit.

Volvo's implementation of DRL's is terrible. They make the driver run all their lights - headlights, tail lamps, instrument cluster lights. What a waste. (GM does it best, I think, with a pair of low power forward lights only.) In my case, I wired my foglights for independent use, so I can use them as my DRL's.
