Bear in mind it is perfectly legal to drive round with front and rear sidelights on all day if you care to.
I find it easier just to ignore people who seem to exhibit the IQ of a dandelion leaf and just get on with things as I wish. Smile

I didn't think they would be as bright as they appear, the reflectors themselves are doing a good job of magnifying the light, although if you see my pictures taken with a flash of the reflectors they do a pretty good job all by themselves. They appear not as bright as the sidelights which should help to avoid confusion, but I will have to see what happens, may a bit of smoked film over the reflectors is needed.

The game is to have something from startup without having to switch any lights on. My front DRLs dim to 50% when headlights come on, so are on full with sidelights on or off. .
