I'm with you on that one, Smokey, however on GM vehicles with DRL (Daytime running lights) the system uses the high beam at 60% power for the lights. It's not neccesarily the person behind the wheel's fault, in some cases talk to the engineers at GM.

On the subject of high beams, I drive a truck. It's tall. The lights on it are bright, but I RARELY use the high beams. The fog lights are much better for seeing the fringes of the road, and are excellent for seeing deer on the side of the road. If you think I have my high beams on and insist on flashing yours at me to get me to turn off the high beams (They're not on, again, tall truck+aim+bright headlights=you THINK I have my high beams on) I may oblige you by turning my high beams on just to prove to you that they're not on in the first place.
