Since no one has answered this, one thing I can think of is try a different forum like the Superduty forum?
However, I do have one thing to say:
The DRL's are controlled by a module somewhere, that in previous years, you could swap out if you WANTED DRL's. Like get a Canadian module, and you'd get DRL's.
I'd think you could get a module for the US model (without DRL's - I've seen some WITH DRL's), and be done with it.
Careful of insurance fraud, they say DRL's are "safer" so you might want to make sure your insurance doesn't include a DRL discount.

Daytime Running Lights.
One of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Now, I never see emergency vehicles right away because I've gotten used to cars with their lights on during the day ...

In my '96 t-bird/'97 cougar, it's the GEM module I think... Gotta find my service CD for the SD, it's got wiring diagrams.
Hey Cap, what are you talking about "our age" ??? I only just turned 40 - cut that out
I've had CRS since I was a teenager. Runs in the family.
