The always on dash lights are often extremely bright during the day so you can see them in the sunlight. If they are too bright because it's dark or dim out, it would be a sign to turn your headlights on. Although anyone who seriously can't tell if their headlights are on or not based on what is illuminated or not in front of them should seriously not be driving.
What I don't get is people who don't use the Auto headlight functions on their vehicles when it's available.
I've got the auto lights on my Subaru, but I find they don't turn on as early as I'd do it, nor do they illuminate when the wipers are on, so I just leave them in the "On" position all the time. Nice thing about Subie is that once the key is out of the ignition, the lights are shut off, so leaving them on all the time works.
I get how those living in well-illuminated urban areas, may not notice if the lights aren't on, especially in the winter when they get so dirty too.
