2007 Odyssey Day Time Running Light (DRL)

I prefer the DRL which is known to lessen accident. It is mandatory in Canada, however the US ODY didn't have it as standard OEM.
I heard from another forum that it is just a matter of put in a fuse to activate the DRL. Is that true? How much trouble I will go through if I have my 07 ODY DRL installed?

I have the same question. I would like to import an American Odyssey into Canada, but I need DRLights to work. The same fix for the Sienna is completed with the installation of a fuse in the slot labeled (conveniently) DRL. Does anyone know the answer??

Lance42 - seems here nobody wants to diclose how, may be give Canadian Tires a call re how much and how to get the Odyssey DRL on. They probably have the info.

I just turn on the headlights and that's it. The running lights are on all the time and they turn themselves off soon after you shut off the car and walk away.

I know Toyota has the DRL just as 50% of regular low beam strength/brightness. There should be a kit or something to do that.

Thanks for the help. I stopped by a local dealer and checked the owners manual. What did I find in one of the three fuse boxes but a 10 amp spot titled DRL. It seems as that Honda -like Toyota- build the same cars for both the American and Canadian markets. To do so they must have DRL as a standard feature in Canada, so those sold in the 'states' have no fuse installed in the #10 slot. Solution is to install one 10 Amp fuse in the #10 slot-problem solved and driving is now safer.

Lance,
I sure will check my car's fuse box later today. Thanks for posting.

Lance - I checked my 07 manual that under the driver side fusebox, No.3 slot is for Canadian Daytime Light and for the suitable 10 Amp fuse. However nothing happens after I plugged in the 10 Amp mini fuse. I think there will be something else to add on besides the fuse plug-in.

I believe the DRL requires a different headlight installed. There is a separate bulb that runs as the DRL (it does not use your main low beam). It could also be as simple as a missing bulb on the US models.
