Understood. It is something everyone should be aware of. The reason why I brought the law into it is because it should be something all of do anyhow -- if the conditions require headlights, they should be one, even if that switch is manual. Honestly, need headlights whenever it is raining is a bit excessive in my opinion. I do obey the law though and did in my 1997 Ranger that did not have DRLs.
