Solar power on cars is pointless unless the purpose is to trickle charge the battery to keep it healthy. Wind would be even worse since you would only run it when parked, and that defeats the point of DRLs.

I'd throw some low wattage DRLs in, or disconnect them entirely. I find constant DRL replacement to be annoying, and I ride motorcycles, so the minute safety benefit of running them isn't worth it to me. I'll probably die of cardiovascular disease or cancer, just like everyone else.
