Today you don't really need lights to see the road within city limits. In fact, many people forget about lights and don't seem to care.[
They will when they are issued a summons.

If what you are saying is true, why don't we just drive with only our parking lights on? Actually your statement that you don't need headlights in a city is untrue. I lived my whole life in and around NY City and other than on the major roads the street lighting is not adequate to see clearly for driving on secondary streets. Nor are street lights intended for that purpose. Headlights are not optional!

Lights, whether at night or during the day, are not only for pedestians but also for other drivers.
I know that and I agree, but it is a secondary reason.
