I certain lighting conditions some cars cannot be seen at any reasonable distance, and on a 100km/h country road that can be very dangerous. From my personal observations:
1. TOO DARK; The most obvious is at dawn/dusk, however some people think it's OK for them to drive without lights because everyone else has their lights on and they can see the other cars OK ..
2. TOO BRIGHT; Driving INTO low lying sun in the morning or evening, or even in the middle of a sunny day, some cars driving on heavily treed roads cannot be seen in the shadows because of contrast with bright daylight.
I have an ex-Telstra car with daylight-running headlights and I'm actually annoyed my FG can't be setup the same way easily. I don't care if others get upset about it or think it's stupid .. at least they saw me. As for the DRL (LED-versions?) I personally think most look too try-hard, but anything that makes them seen is for the better.
