Er... are you in Canada? We don't have DRLs here... BUT, part of my retro is using bi-xenon projectors, so I won't have any use for teh high beams, I'm thinking they're going to be some 3000k yellow DRLs, but I need to find lower wattage yellow bulbs.

I don't know the honda's well enough yet so i probrably mispoke regarding the drl's. All i know is that there are lights on during the day so they could be the parking lights for all i know.
Its a new york honda so its standard stuff for here.

I've never heard of DRLs on a USDM 6th gen. HID DRLs would be pointless, they just ment to draw more attnetion to the car, not actually shine light in front. You'd be asking for a ticket in no time.

if the lights that are on while driving the car during the day are not called daytime running lamps, then what do you call them?

whenever i start the car, these lights automatically come on. many cars have these in american...even chevy's. i would dissagree with them just drawing attention to the car as insurance rates decrease because of these. they are a safety thing.

omg is this a twighlight zone experience?

I know tons of cars in the US have DRLs, BUT USDM 6th gens did not come with them, which is why I think you have a Canadian model Accord, because in Canada, DRLs are required.

Are they the lights nearest the grille or the fender in the headlight?

They are the lights that are nearest the grill. They are a yellowish white when on.

A canadian car hugh. Wonder if the dealer knew that. Well- they build crown vics there and they are good cruisers.

Those are fog lights. You have a 6th gen with stock fogs? Something isn't adding up!!
