My intuitive thought was that they're probably reasonable in countries like Norway, Russia and Canada, and reasonable to use on motorcycles and probably small sports cars too (the Excursions just don't see you) but you'd have to be completely blind not to see an Excursion in the noontime sun.

My state and many if not most require lights on with wipers, might make more sense to wire the lights that way.

I gather from Paul's post that he turns 'em on and off with the seasons, if you usually leave home and return in the winter twilight that seems a reasonable choice, too.
