Thanks Hemi300C for those leads. They led to the following info:

I am now advised that the DRL's can be turned on for US-delivered 300C's as follows:

1. Can be done regardless of headlamp style or mode of normal operation, whether auto on or not, or HID's (which are only on the low beams in this car).

2. DRL's are controlled by the body module on LX models (300C, etc.). There is no separate DRL module as was the case on LH models.

3. This option is turned on by hooking the car up to the diagnostic computer and switching from the current US country code to the Canadian country code. No additional steps are needed; it really is quite simple and easy; and should be at no cost.

4. All gauge settings remain in US measurements.

5. Lights enabled are high beams, at about 3/4 power.

6. During daytime use, all dashboard lights remain at normal settings. No sidemarkers or taillights are on (except when applying the brakes as normally done). If you maually turn on your headlamps during daytime, normal operation will occur. Wipers on, headlamps on will function normally.

7. When you turn on a turn signal, the DRL on that side of the car will go off temporarily to ensure that the front signal can be seen easily. It will resume the usual DRL setting when the turn signal is cancelled.

I will get mine turned on ASAP; suggest anyone interested print a copy of this info and hand it to your service writer.
