jimny 4th gen front foglights

Gov uk web site:-
Vehicle manufacturers must fit DRL to new types of passenger car and light goods vehicle (car derived vans) type approved to European vehicle requirements from February 20111 . In practice this means that any new model launched after this date, and many launched before, will be fitted with DRL. However, existing models on sale before this date without DRL fitted can continue to be sold and used indefinitely.
DRL activate automatically when the engine is started and remain on unless the headlamps are switched on. They may however remain off in some low speed and stationary situations. In general all other lights should remain off when the DRL are on but for a limited period some vehicles may be available which automatically activate the rear position lamps at the same time as the DRL.

DRL may be combined with other lamps. For example some manufacturers use the same lamp for both the DRL and position lamp. In these cases the DRL automatically dims to function as a lower intensity position lamp when the headlamps are turned on. DRL placed close to direction indicators may also automatically dim when the direction indicator is active. This is to ensure that the direction indicator is not masked by the light from the DRL.

I'm in greece, this law is absurd, requires lights on during daytime from manufacturers? the success of the jimny in europe probably led to its prohibition, european cars are money pits & very expensive

Thanks for that Mike, I confess I don't keep up to date with this stuff anymore but it's still a subject that interests me. The conflict between type approval and the law, your last paragraph explaining the different ways the lights can work is classic type approval. The manufacturers have to jump through hoops to satisfy the codes but the law on occasion will shy away from new legislation as the rules are too vague and hard to define.
Most type approval codes will find themselves in law but some won't, I believe TPMS still occupies this shady world and it's been around for ever. I wouldn't imagine anyone removing DRLs for the sake of it (what's the point) but other TA stuff that annoys you maybe. Chris

Ok but where is the front fog light switch on my lcv

There is a bezel on the lights/indicator stork on my Gen 4. It has two positions, one for front and another for front/rear.

I assume the LCV is the same?
