From doing my searching and research on this forum and elsewhere, it appears as though Australia & South Africa have the DRLs disable at night when headlights come on, but UK they stay on. The South Africans have been discussing how to get dealer to turn them on, but no word on actual fix yet. There must be an ECU setting as I doubt they would have separate parts for UK, Aus, SA, and now USDM.
I can always appreciate a well researched response. Good stuff.

To add to your comment, there has been talk in this forum of USDM dealers adjusting the ECU to turn the current halogen DRLs to "always on" mode - hopefully this can extend to the LED DRLs for your FR-S - I'm assuming there must be some sort of law removing the option for some countries around the world.
