Lights on or off?

I was just curious as to how many of you drive with headlights on during the day. I did a search and couldn't find any threads so I started one. If anyone knows one i missed let me know. I have mixed feelings about headlights on during the day, sometimes I think it looks really good and other times it just doesn't do it for me.

Headlights in daytime are supposed to improve your visibility to other drivers. That being said, I drive a bright yellow car, so I am already pretty visible.

Headlights off.

I drive with my headlights on all the time. I figure that is just one more way for people to see me, with my car being silver I know that it can be hard to see sometimes.

Been a supporter of DRL's for years......All my cars have had them up until my purchase of the EVO

When in the EVO, the headlights are always burning.......I think it adds just a bit more presence when approaching cross traffic......Too many incompetents driving around.

Peace & be safe

Don't usually remember to turn the headlights on during the day so I vote for off.

Sidenote: Something I was just thinking about today, whats with all HID noobs driving around with their lights on during the day?(DRL's aside 'cause ya know thats not why they are on.) Can't even tell you how many Honda's and lifted trucks I see rolling around with HID conversions blinding me... during the day that is.
