As for DRL, yeah, I'd like to have the option. Tire Pressure alarms, I could take 'em or leave 'em...I have no real preference.
My Corvette (1999; a "C5" model) had DRL which only illuminated the yellow lights up front, and kept the main headlights off and closed. You're right, no rear lights, but I didn't think they were really needed for that particular implementation. That car did have the automatic headlights feature for night driving.
That 'Vette also had runflat tires, and no spare; so it had low tire pressure (LTP) monitors. I could check the pressure in each of the four tires from the dashboard, and the alarm bells would go off when they went to 25 PSI or lower. I think my tires were rated at 32 PSI (17" front, 18" rear), so 25 pretty much was flat.
LTP is a neat gizmo, but does have some drawbacks:
1) computer almost never agreed with my tire guage, even when properly calibrated. So how much air do I really have in 'em?
2) Tires could only be serviced by a person with special training, and at a shop with certification, even if it was just balancing or alignment. Yes, weird. Add $ accordingly.
3) A flat would be drivable (w/runflat tires), but could possibly damage the LTP sensor (attached to the inside of the wheel). A flat with non-runflats would almost certainly damage the sensor...maybe? I dunno for sure, but maybe more cost for repairs.
4) Tire rotations could complicate things, unless each LTP sensor is uniquely coded. Corvette's wheels and tires weren't designed to be rotated, so this wasn't a problem on that car, unless some bonehead mixed up the tires somehow...
5) Cold weather would set off the LTP alarm bells. What was I supposed to do in December, put more air in tires before work, and let it out before coming home in the late afternoon? Another weird thing.
