On cars without daytime running lights, I assume.

Maybe because few know how to turn them off. -- the notorious rocker
switch above the steering column.

(John, mabye you considered that too obvious to mention.)

I don't think that that is it. That rocker switch above the column
enables you to turn them on when the car is off. If you had that
rocker switch in the wrong position, and didn't know it was there,
then you would drain your battery. At least that is how it works on my
car. Is that not how it is supposed to work?

Speaking of which, on my car (a 95 legacy) the headlights turn off
when I turn the ignition off. So I just leave my headlight switch in
the on position so I always have them on for safety. Do new subies
work like that? When I see people driving in a subie at dusk with no
headlights on, I wonder how that got themselves into that position.

Ah, so! Good thinking there, Mr. Elliot.

Yes, my up-to-date 1999 turns off the headlights with the ignition. I
blink my lights at the dark cars, but only once did they get the
message.

I'm also one of the few people that bothers any more to blink lights
at car's without their headlights on. I have found success in turning
my headlights off so that I just have parking lights, then using the
turn signal stalk to flash the highbeams two or three times, then
turning my headlights back on. The contrast of off bright off bright
is either more noticeable, or it helps relay that message that their
lights are off since I turned mine off then flashed them. I still only
have about a 20% success rate with that, but I'd like to think it has
helped someone to stay safer.
