No sir. The only time lights come on is when I'm in a garage, at night, or when I turn them on.

Are you driving a foreign model? I've read on the board that Canadian cars come standard with DRLs.

Are these relays the factory methodology to get DRLs in the foreign cars?

No, I doubt it. The in the Canadian models I bet the BCM would control the DRL's so there is no easy way to get the oem method.

The way I was talking about would use a few relays to turn on your fogs when the car was on. One would turn on the fogs and the others would switch it off when the parking brake is on. Any car audio shop could do it for you.

Are the fogs the same expensive bulbs that the main lamps are?

I think I can get DRLs easily by putting a piece of black felt over the light sensor on the dash. It won't be visible, it won't mess anything up.

Foreign - Hell no! This is a Canadian version - eh? I guess it's a first when the Canadian model has something better included.

The fogs are not HID; they are just H4.
