Happened to me once a long time ago in a rental car I did not know well. I could not understand why the headlights are somewhat dim, until I realized how to turn the headlights on. Never drove a car with DRL before that.
When I got my CX-5, I was seriously considering to delete the DRL function, but then I decided against it. Now I use it to delay when I turn on the headlights until other cars, especially from behind, look less visible.
I see from time to time people driving in complete darkness with only DRLs. I try to flash my lights at them with partial success. California drivers just don't understand what to do when you flash your lights at them.
People and headlights is a big problem. Too many drivers mess with their headlights, too many drive with their high beams on all the time and ignore if you flash your lights at them. The CHP do pretty much nothing in this subject. With HID and LED headlights and lax standards and 0 enforcement, it becomes dangerous to drive at night and straining on the eyes.
