    I recently purchased a 2008 Prius touring.
    Reading my manual it says if there is a light senser on the lower left corner of my dash my lights will come on with the proper daytime brightness. It appears they are full intensity all the time.
    I read a post stating no U.S. cars have DRL's . Which is true.?

    Yes. That is true. Only the US spec 2012 & current have oem DRLs.

    and to clarify, all the Canadian models have it because of the requirement as many other countries do to. So if you have a US spec car only 2012+ have it. For Canadian models, they all have it.

    And while the cars are a bit different, the main manual appears to cover the English speaking portions of both countries.

    Haha.....I though about including the Canadian spec. I think the UK spec might also be the same.
