Default why, pray-tell, have I no DRLs?? ;)
without doing anything (mod-wise), I have no DRLs... thought we were all supposed to have them?

I've checked the lighting out when the car is running, etc. No DRLs.

thoughts, concerns, clues?

No Wally, only the VW side forces them on us. : ) Only NA Audis in the Great White North have 'em.

Default Blame it on HID lamps.
They should have still used the fog lights as DRLs, they DO save lifes.

Default no reason to blame HIDs - they *do* use the fogs as DRLs in Canada
If you'd like I can tell you how to rewire your relay so that you have DRL fogs. Hmm, I wonder if you can just pop in the Canadian part - probably expensive though

Also, some motorcycle owners don't like cars with DRLs because now they don't stand out as much

Default Some car Owners with HID don;t like loud motorcycles..
So what?

making a motorcycle loud does not make me see it.. and making my car bright during the day does not make them see me.. only an alert driver!
