Like I said, at best, totally unnecessary.

I agree they aren't that hard to see, but on many cars the signal lights were designed without DRL's in mind.
As pinner said, DRL's usually run on a low wattage setting of the high beam bulb and throw more glare than a lowbeam. DRL's at night are way more annoying than headlights.
On a sunny day, with the sun behind you, it is tricky to see oncoming signal lights that are right beside the DRL. I personally like cars that use the fog/driving lights as the DRL's. It looks better and makes this issue moot.
