Should my car be fitted with daytime running lights?

Should my 2019 Vauxhall Corsa SRi VX line be fitted with daytime running lights?

All newly-launched cars sold in the EU have to be fitted with DRLs as standard, so not every car registered from this date will have them. However the Corsa received a significant update in 2014, so all Corsa after this date should have them fitted.

If your car does not have working DRLs it may be that there is a fault with the headlights. It is unlikely that the headlights have been replaced with older versions as the design is different, which would make fitting them almost impossible.
