DRL have been on every 86 in every trim level across the world since the car has been made, so my car already has DRL. I guess those look different than my car? idfk, it's not making me nod my head and say 'oh yeah definitely worth spending extra money to get those'.
NHTSA and IIHS are critical of most car manufacturer headlights for inducing too much glare for other motorists. The IIHS just released it's headlight report and labeled 1 out of 82 cars as 'good', literally 1 car passed their test with flying colors (the new Prius V btw). The base halogens in the Honda Accord is noted as scoring 'acceptable' while the LED 'upgrade' scores lower at 'marginal', likely due to glare.

A vehicle with excessive glare on any of the approaches can't earn a rating above marginal.

What part of California are you driving in? Dumbasses up here don't slow down at all in the rain which is why every major freeway gets an accident during any noteworthy storm. I agree proper lighting and tires and brakes are absolutely necessary for safe motoring, but all of those come on a base model 86.
