Volvo have have daytime running lights on its models since what? 1975?
And they have been sold here with the lights connected directly to the ignition legally since then.

Volvo Australia had, in fact, disconnected the DRL's on all models years ago owing the lack of an ADR. When AUS played catch-up and adopted the UNECE rule, they began fitment again.
DRL's, including the regulations later adopted as ECE, then UNECE - were a Scandanavian thing. EU's ECE mandated them for that market not that long ago.
The new LX Mondeo doesn't get the LED DRL's, Zetec does, but no front fogs, Titanium has the DRL and front fogs! Thought Ford would have standardized them through the Mondeo range.
Not that I really care, happy to live without them.
