Interesting, I never knew these had DRLs as an option.

There was extensive discussion of it in the Forscan megathread. In the US it is a fleet order only option. Former rentals for example will usually have it. When enabled through a dealer it is 50% power of the headlights, through Forscan the fog lights. Also a legal requirement in Canada for all vehicles sold or imported after 1989. However some provinces don’t require they be used per this possibly outdated article from Toronto - https://www.thestar.com/autos/2016/...-daytime-running-lights-legal-in-ontario.html

I’ve never liked DRLs simply because the look ugly running down the road when it’s light out. That and I want to be able turn my lights off completely.

Understandable. They only engage when in drive. So in park you can still go lights out.

Mubarakma posted a outside the US sticker. This is a screenshot from the PDF I got when the sticker look-ups worked. This is a US Fleet sale originally:
