DRLs? No way! The momentum imparted to your Vanagon by all those unnecessary photons streaming out of these extra headlights will do nothing but decrease your top speed and/or your miles per gallon of fuel (or kilometers per liter of petrol). Heck, I've even improved my night-time gas mileage by ALWAYS driving with my regular headlights off! (I'm getting 18.7896072 MPG now vs. the 18.7896058 I usually achieve with the lights on.)
