Just curious here, do you want to make them daytime running or are you required to have them daytime running?

Isn't there a plug on the core support that the DRL module goes into?

Why would you require it?? I know that manufacturers were required to have them in vehicles for the Canadian market starting in 1990, but If it's bought used form outside Canada, it shouldn't matter.

Yep, it should be a 8 pin plug up by the radiator core support.

Ok, then the big question is how does one obtain a DRL module to plug in here if he/she desires one?
Ford?

Ford?
I have read that all the DRL modules are the same, so you can look for one in a parts store and try it. You have to remove a jumper in the connector and then install the module.
Maybe this is the #part:
DRL MODULE F65Z-15A272-AA ¿?
