CarloSW2, I think you may be able to claim even more. The high beams on your car are single-filament. (9005) bulbs. It's a good thing that they're used for DRLs rather than the low beams from a longevity standpoint - you would be mad if your low beams burned out prematurely from running them as DRLs, whereas your high beams are not as important to drive day-to-day.
Some cars have dual filament bulbs for the high beam and DRLs, so they don't waste electricity at such a high rate.
