Shortly after I got my car, I pulled the fuse to disable the DRLs. Didn’t notice any obvious mileage improvement, although I bet having those DRLs on was keeping the alternator charging all the time. I sort of recently figured out that my car has a smart alternator that trickle charges during no-load conditions and charges during load or deceleration. Honda switched from incandescent to LED tail lights for the 2006+ accords among other things. No difference noted in the EPA ratings, but they sure do look cool!
You would be hard pressed to justify LED taillights on a return on investment scale.
