I would agree that a LED in each wing-mounted sidelight, even a bright one like a 1.5 watt Cree, is not going to replicate the effect of an Audi with daytime running lights. But it would increase visibility. The alternative is to run with headlamps on, of course, like bikers do.

A proper DRL installation is supposed to switch off when the headlamps are on, this would not be the case if you just replace the sidelight bulb with a LED bulb.
