Yes I am aware, and California specifies headlights as being those described in FMVSS 108 (not an easy read, even for manufacturers.) 108 generally limits DRL's to less than 3000 candelas and sets headlight brightness at greater than 6500 candelas. Other California laws prohibit driving with parking lights, or fog lights only. I understand why they spend so much time annoying motorists, all the other legislative work is completed!

If you have HID headlights (OEM) and they are set as DRLs, they are recognized as headlights as well.
