Perhaps they were using the "running lights"? I rented a Ford in CA some years back and couldn't understand why people were flashing their lights at me. Everything looked fine to me (I could see my lights on the road ahead) but evidently I didn't have my headlights on. When it got darker I could tell there was something wrong. Maybe it's a CA thing. None of my Fords have had similar.

Could have been. But that's stupid if a supposedly safety-enhancing feature does the opposite. Why don't they just turn the tail lights on with the daytime running lights?

Horrors! Think of all the electricity wasted.
Not that I know of. I guess they had enough problems and gave up on the idea.
