daytime running lights
Always-on beacons
Daytime running lights are vehicle headlights that turn on automatically when the engine is running, even in full daylight.
They improve visibility to other drivers rather than illuminating the road ahead.
Standard in many countries since the 1970s, they typically operate at reduced brightness.
Often abbreviated DRL or DRLs.
