What does DRL mean?

[StDelilah]

This is a mode of the headlights, DRL (Daytime-Running-Lamps) means daytime running lights. The purpose of daytime running lights is not to help drivers see the road, but to make others aware of their presence as early as possible. For example, in snowy conditions, a white vehicle body can easily lead to misidentification by drivers. Related information is as follows: 1. Service life: Early versions of these daytime running lights mostly used halogen bulbs, which, although not very power-consuming, have been replaced by brighter LED configurations in modern designs by car manufacturers. These can significantly reduce power consumption by up to 35%, extend battery life, and have a maximum lifespan of up to 8000 hours, almost equivalent to the vehicle's service life. 2. Function: From the perspective of the surrounding environment, dedicated daytime running lights can improve visibility and make vehicles more noticeable. This technology, specifically researched for daytime use, is more direct and effective than existing lighting devices. According to existing studies, if equipped with daytime running lights, road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle drivers, can detect and recognize vehicles earlier and more effectively.
