So I saw some posts about people who want full control over DRLs in the game, but I don't think there's a thread about it. Feel free to close or move this thread if necessary.

Anyways, does anyone wonder about how DRLs are implemented in the game? Some cars, like the Lamborghini Aventador, Pagani Huayra, Scion FR-S, and Corvette Stingray, all have their daytime running lights on no matter the time or weather. But some cars, some with manufacturer-specific DRLs, like the McLaren MP4-12C, Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, and the Ford Focus ST '13, only have their DRLs on during dawn/dusk times or rainy periods, where the "sidelights" are on (I use the term "sidelight" because that's what turns them on in Photo Travel). I just find it odd that PD have turned on the DRLs for some of the cars, unless it requires a lot of programming for it (which I don't know because I'm ignorant about programming).

I know this is a trivial and minor detail, but I was just curious to see if anyone else here noticed this and what they think. I'm not trying to bash GT6, PD, or Kaz in any way. I'm just commenting on something I've noticed.

I noticed it with LMP cars like the TS030 and R18. They are supposed to always have their lights on in a race because of WEC rules but they are always off in the daytime in GT6. They just don't look right.

Yeah, that's what bothers me the most, it just doesn't look right, especially on the race cars like you mentioned. I know "look right" in this sense is probably the least of PD's concerns and priorities, but still, since cars like the Aventador have functioning DRLs, would it be difficult to make it so other cars do as well? When I think of some of these cars, their LED DRLs are part of what strike me the most, because they're so unique and part of the design language. They're integral to the car's design itself, and without them, something feels missing. Also, I'm a sucker for bright LEDs that are arranged in cool patterns, so there's that, too.
