TW is saying that in WWII, airplanes would turn their wing headlights on so that they could sneak up on submarines in broad daylight. He's saying lights made the planes less visible. Therefore, daytime running lights on cars are not effective at making cars more visible. TW thinks daytime running lights are stupid.

How did the lights make them less visible? This makes no sense.

I personally find it easier to see cars with their daytime running lights on, because cars today are mostly all the same basic invisible color. Some sort of silver/gray/tan. They blend into the road and the background. I like daytime running lights.

Agreed.
