But to the commenter’s point, why not just have them on all the time no matter what? Is there a disadvantage?
Nope. The issue is many drivers don't understand car electronics and that the alternator is constantly generating power as the car goes along. They turn it off thinking it will save battery life.
To be fair, power isn't free. I think I remember reading that having headlights on reduces gas milage by something like 1% for LED bulbs and 5% for other types.
Edit: I was wrong, but not like super wrong. HowStuffWorks estimates it to be an average of 1%
The only other reason I can think of is, would it make the headlights burn out fast? Not that it wouldn't be worth it either way imo. Idk how much of a difference it would make on the lifespan, or if replacing headlights is even something people have to worry about all lol, pls bear with me I don't drive
No.
