I wouldn’t like a toggle switch between lights off and lights on as that could cause implications in multiplayer (unless it’s forced on in multiplayer) but I would like a toggle between high beems, low bees and DRL’s.

The reason for headlights on during the day:
I use my headlights on during the day depending on the circumstances. The main reason why headlights are required during races or just traveling, is so other drivers can see YOU. Most people: “Why do i need headlights during the day? I can see the road just fine.” That may be true, but what if the oncoming car at the light has minor vision problems or it’s foggy enough to nearly cloak your car? It’s more of a safety reason for the other drivers rather than being for your benefit. How would you like it if it was super foggy one morning and you wanted to make a left and got t-boned by another driver simply because they didn’t have their headlights on? if that driver had had their lights on, you might have seen them sooner and not made that left turn when you did.
The same principle applies in racing. If a racecar spins and ends up in the middle of the track, near the racing line, i would definitely want to be made aware of that. Headlights pointing back at me on track mean someone has spun out. Again, it’s for safety reasons.

Alright, so it seems there are alot of reasons why headlights should be on, and I would also like to ask a question, in countries where it is required to use headlights, is it full beams or daytime lights like those LED stripes that you see in cars? Because Forza Motosport 5 and Horizon 3 had those LED stripes on but not full beams which is what I want in FM7.
And really for me its not about the headlights, its about the fact that the rear taillights and interior lights turn on as well, which are what really annoy me since playing from a third person cam, seeing the brake lights already somewhat on on daylight races is annoying for me rather than fully off, and having the interior switches already light up is also annoying for me.
What I’m asking for Turn 10 is the ability to switch off full beams, rear lights and interior lights for SINGLEPLAYER/FREE PLAY races, since for multiplayer I don’t mind leaving it on and it seems pretty important to have them on, please turn 10 needs to see this and add toggles for singleplayer/free play races or bring back the way FH3 handles headlight/rearlights as an option for free play/ singleplayer races.

last time i wrote it in the Forza 6 Forum turn off the lights wehre they not have to be
just do it like in Forza Hrizon there are the lights every daytime correct!
i think in the video of Dubai there are the lights off so like it should be but in the Tunnel they not going on that should be also added
that feature is also in Forza Horizon…
DRLs make sense, I am just glad the night time lights aren’t on all the time like they were in FM6
I loved the DRLs from Forza 5 - it made the cars look so nice during daytime driving as opposed to having full glare headlights on in FM6. I wonder how they got them to look so bright as I’ve never seen a road or race car with lights this bright at around noon!
