The problems with that are:
1. It's another thing to remember every time you start the vehicle, and
you might not be consistant.
2. Turning the headlight switch on also turns on the parking lights,
which use energy and burn out more frequently, and
3. Certain accessories, like some radios, dim the display when they
recieve a voltage from the accessory position. This is obviously
undesirable in the day.
One problem I see with just wiring it so the headlights are on when the
ignition is: What if you want to sit in the car with say the blower
running but not the headlights, either to not draw attention to yourself
or to save drain on the battery? An overide switch would be nice. I plan
to use such a setup in my 93 XJ, with the overide switch where the
transmission select switch used to be on older models.
I investigated getting a factory DRL, but it looked like there was no
place for it to plug in on the American harness.

Know what else sucks? Every night I see a pile of idiots driving
around with their headlights AND fogs on for no reason! 4 blinding
lights for the price of 2. Especially the guys with monster KCs who do
that :) I have the KC 150's and wouldn't dream of taking the cases off
them in the road except if there was a hurricane. I'm pretty sure it's
illegal in VA to use them anyway on the road. Inconsiderate! (end
