Pardon my ignorance, but what is "DRL"?

No proven benefits? You haven't read very much (if anything) on the subject.
Years of testing were done in may countries, before DRLs were developed.

Just make it a habit to turn on the low beam headlamps all the time if
you want DRLs. Don't use the high beams, because they can annoy other
drivers with excessive glare in low light conditions.

Sadly, good habits in this area don't yield insurance discounts.

These are the same stupid folks who neglect to turn on their lights because
they already have DRL's on. They are too stupid to figure out that DRL's don't
light up the rear of their car. So DRL's cause as many problems as they
supposedly solve.

You should worry more about what is safer than what gets you a discount.
Blinding other drivers with your high beams can be dangerous. So please
don't do it. Try taking a driver safety course. That too can get you a
discount on your insurance. You might learn something that could improve
your driving.

Been there, done that, got the discount. DRLs are the final frontier.

If you are intent on having DRLs for the insurance discount, use the low
beams, not the high beams. You really don't want to have the DRLs on in
low light conditions (e.g. overcast) blinding someone with too much glare,
causing him/her to crash into you.

And don't use the turn signals as DRLs either, unless you want to increase
the chance of giving false signals.

To be honest, other than AAA, I no of no other insurance carrier offering a
discount for DRL's. I'd assume there may be a couple more out there, but
the insurance industry in general does not offer that discount.
