Daytime running light

If not Barry pointed it out to me last time at the Car N Coffee, I never realized all the Canadian Black Series have no daytime running light, how about the ROW Black Series?

That's odd considering every Canadian car since about 1991 has had DRL's, it's the law. Maybe an exemption because of the limited cars being imported???

Is there not even the option to turn them on through the dashboard controls, as you can on the non-BS?

No exemption. MB made a mistake.

No, that option is disabled for all Canadian cars, as the ability to enable/disable DRLs isn't legal here.

From what Barry mentioned, the dealer can turn it on, and it was mistakenly set to OFF by default for Canadian spec cars. I still haven't gotten mine done yet.
