Actually, that's wrong. Low beams (at any intensity), high beams (at any
intensity), fog lamps (at any intensity) and full-time turn signals are
very disbeneficial as DRLs, because none of these functions is
photometrically close to the ideal DRL.

A separate, functionally-dedicated white daylight running lamp is the way
to get the maximum possible safety benefit with the minimum possible
annoyance, cost and safety disbenefit.

Blah, blah, whatever. Pacific Insight did not "invent" DRLs. And the 5w
auxiliary parking lamps on your '04 Freestar do not cause glare.
