Default I think they're required in Canadia,

and that's why Canadian cars don't have xenon headlights. Of course, I could be wrong.

Default I'm in the middle of this right now ... no easy solution!

I have imported my US spec car to Canada and have to have DRLs activated. Dealer had a look a week ago and hoped they could do a VAG switch but alas, not to be. It takes a whole re-wiring of the lighting system, going to take about 4 hours labor and some parts. Total cost will be in the $500 Cdn range [labor at $95/hour].

I had hoped I could find a hack that would just jump between relays but no one offered one up and I am not skilled or patient enough to figure it out


FWIW I am driving a 2002 ar. and FWIW my Porsche Boxster cost a fraction of that to switch over AND there was a $20 hack I could do myself if I wanted to just run with the Xenon lights as DRL, but I decided to have it done right.
