I could be mistaken, I know 91-93’s do, but my 89 doesnt and never did…

You’re right. I think the year was actually '86.

DRLs don’t matter, if it turns out that you need them you can wire them up in about 3 seconds with a cheap relay.

as far as i know, 89-90s don’t have drls, but 91+ does, but don’t quote me on that.

Yeah the pignose has the DRL’s but they are commonly referred to as fog lights.

As far as the import laws go… it was 15 and still is as far as i’ve heard, but they are really pushing for 25 years _if the car was not manufacured in North America_. I think I’ll be safe as long as I contact the RIV people.

Thanks for all your help regarding this matter guys!
