The absence of the small screw on the light switch means the car was produced for a market that required daytime lights. I don't know of a way to defeat the feature.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

not sure, you could try getting a switch from a north american car, there is a screw on the north american cars that allows you to change the way the switch works.

i suppose you could have another switch added after the main switch to control it.



best, ken.
