I put these in any US-spec cars that are being imported and do not already have daytime's.
Canadian Tire sells 'em for $40. Hooks to your battery and ground, two outputs (marker lights and headlights, or L & R headlights for European cars w/separate circuits). About 90 mins for a clean install. Uses a wire that wraps around a plug wire to detect the engine running, then turns the lights on about 4 seconds after startup.
Or, I'll run a Bosch relay under the dash that mimic's turning the headlights on as soon as the key is turned to "RUN". For cars with Coil-On-Plug ignition, this is easier.
