I fail to see how this proposal will have a positive effect on carbon emissions. Even if the DRL's use only a third of he power of normal lights, the net effect will be the same as a third of all new vehicles running with normal lights during daylight hours which is not the case at the moment.
DRLs reduce carbon emissions if fewer cars end up in scrapyards. Anything that reduces accidents and allows cars to last longer is positive for the environment.
Daytime running lights have been mandatory in Canadian cars for decades and have slowly but surely reduced the accident rate.
More normalization and standardization of lighting especially in police vehicles would be a great idea as the various colours across NA and the EU are confusing to say the least for tourists.
