In fact I hope they go away as a fashion statement, like the ugly plastic rear valances and cowcatcher front grills and oversized scoops that seem to be so prevalent among today's designers who must have played with Transformers too much when growing up.

This is exactly what I've done. And I keep them off unless my silver car is at risk in early morning light, or dusk, or in poor visibility conditions.
I'm certain to be an odd owner, but I often work midnight+ hours and don't need to be blasting super-white in a parking lot while keeping the car running for a couple of hours. (Job related. I hear the snickers LOL) Once you start the car and release the handbrake the DRL's stay lite if your headlights are not active. Even if you have been driving for some time and park in a quiet area and shut your lights off. The DRL's will still be on. This 'cut-off' wired at the control module is the solution!
I have also installed a JDM rear fog light to be used under the same conditions.
