On most cars, the DRL's come on automatically. It's selectable on my Camry. The majority of cars on the road(except for newer models) don't have them. I don't know how one could get a ticket for a burnt-out light that's not even required AFIK(?).
As of late I actually prefer those with next to no lights over the super high-intensity lights these idiots are now blinding you with. Yet...no Digisett pulling anyone over for having illegally bright headlights...go figure.

So, was this "feux de position" light as bright as a standard headlight - bright enough to drive at night with? Was it actually the headlight itself?There was actually an intermediate state of affairs. New cars in Europe for the past 5 years or more came with lights that never went out.
So you have full beam, head lights and what we call feux de positions ( ie, position lights ).
So the feux de positions never went out on new-ish cars, then they transitioned to lights like the pics you posted.
It meant older cars could manually put on feux de positions to comply with the law.

Even at night, those DRL's don't provide any really useful illumination for driving except to maybe drive through an empty parking lot at 5mph on a dark night.That was my point exactly
There's a reason they're called "daytime running lights".That was my point exactly
