So, if you mean automatic headlights, then yes please use them! But I think daytime running lights are part of the problem because they're not the same as headlights, and people don't realize they've got one on but not the other.

daytime running lights vs. headlights

Right. Not daytime running. My mistake.

My car has a setting for headlights to be always on when engine is on.

Unfortunately, in many cases like this, while the headlights are on, your taillights are not, adding another issue to night driving

I agree. I had to travel for work and rented a car. Hopped in it and the "headlights" came on - actually didn't think about it b/c mine are fully automatic. Too bad they were just the running lights, if someone hadn't caught my attention at a stop light to tell me the rear lights weren't on I'd never have known.
