BMW were the first German manufacturer to pioneer daytime driving lights on their M models. Now Audi have started to incorporate them into their new models. Following from Audi’s lead new Volkswagen and Porsche models will now be available with daytime driving lights.
With more European nations and the EU itself expected to require lights to be used when driving on main roads it is reasonable to expect more manufacturers to incorporate daytime driving lights into their models.
Daytime driving lights are specifically designed to be seen rather than to aid vision, they draw light electrical power but help with road safety. Surveys and studies (in Europe and the former Russian states) have shown that driving with lights on during daylight helps reduce accidents.
