I am importing a 05 STi into Canada and need to install DRL. Im not a fan of taking my chance by just leaving the headlights in the 'on' position to pass the inspection. I would like to do a proper install. The module costs about $20 and the local shops are charging $200 ish for the install.

Wiring diagram, pictures, instructions, anything would be great. Thanks for any help.

I thought even the 05 came with DRL.

If you scroll down to the part where it says whats new, drl are listed for the 05 STi. Its the 04 STi that doesnt have them which I find weird because I have seen 04 STi's with drl. I almost bought one this past summer and i know it had drl, it is possible he had the dealership do that though so idk

According to this, DRL only became standard on the '06. Possible that it was an option before that?

I guess you could do it yourself with a bit of splicing. You'd need to wire the DRL into an always-on, maybe even the ignition. I don't know the specs but you may need to solder in a resistor. Do that, add a ground and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply's. The 05 i bought didn't come with DRL and nor do any 05's. I paid to have it done, i just dont have the electrical know how to do it myself.

It should be as easy as buying a DRL module and plugging it in.
