Daytime Running Lamps

Was this an available option on Essex Contis in the US or available exclusively on Canadian cars?

1988 Canadian models didn't have drl's, and I don't remember when they became mandatory.

You can buy the DRL module (if you must) at any time from the Ford parts counter. DRLs have been mandatory in Canada since 1990; here, not yet (too many people with GUNS in their vehicles).
