How LED's can make cars less safe.

I don't get the DLR's only being on if it's dark out. My wife's car is from 2006, and the lights come on automatically if the light outside the vehicle is low enough (often dusk will do it). In fact, unless you turn the car off, the lights can't be deactivated until the sun or an equivalent source of light is introduced.
Did drivers get upset that they weren't being allowed to choose to have their lights off and car makers changed how they worked?

I believe the dash lights work on the same principle. However, some other parts of the dash only light up when you activate the headlight switch. I think the main dash lights get a little brighter, too. Wouldn't this solve the problem?
