My 88 Syncro has DRLs, because, here in Norway, it has been mandatory on
new cars since Jan 1st 1985, and older cars also had to turn on the low
beams. There is a fine of about $80 if you do not have the lights on...
I do not know how the lights are wired on my Syncro, it is a factory
install, and whenever the Ignition switch is turned to the "on"
position, the parking lights front and rear and the low beams come on
automatically.( you cant drive blackout at night, not that I would do
that anyway)
I do believe it has been mandatory in Sweden and Denmark too, and we
have been looked at as loonies when driving in the rest of Europe in the
late 80s.
