Def. sexy. Wire them up as propper DRL's i.e not to the parkers but as per ADR rules. You could wire them up so that when you turn your head lights or
parkers on they dim to park light intensity. Thats legal and further enhances the look of the car.
daytime running lights

Daytime running lights (DRLs) may be fitted to the front of a vehicle to increase its visibility to other road users during the daytime. They should not be confused with driving or fog lamps, which although similar in appearance are not designed for use in clear daylight conditions and are more likely to cause glare or annoyance to other motorists.
  • Daytime running lights (DRLs) reduce the risk of collision during the daytime.
  • RACV believes more vehicle manufacturers should consider fitting their vehicles with dedicated DRLs.
  • RACV believes a limit in intensity of 1200 candela (a measure of the light's brightness) for DRLs will provide maximum visibility to other motorists in the daytime, while minimizing any glare effect.
  • In the absence of vehicles fitted with dedicated DRLs, RACV encourages motorists to operate their headlights on low beam during the daytime, in order to reduce the risk of a collision.
This is from the RACV:
