2011 Ibiza SE Copa - DRLs?

Does anybody happen to know if the 2011 Ibiza SE Copa has DRLs?

Mine is an 11 plate, and wondered if it would have DRLs fitted.

Just curious because of the EU's change in making them a legal requirement from February 2011.

In 2012 they created a facelift version with DRL's, which is why you sometimes see 6J 2008-2012 and 6J 2012-2017.

Although the EU created the legal requirement in Feb 2011 this was for new models registered after this date (hence the facelift mentioned above) rather than new cars registered after this date. For details on the differences on the facelift model have a look at https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/2012-seat-ibiza-112#gref

If you want to add DRL's to yours then you will need to look at third party one's (Similar to https://www.2xcite.co.uk/product/se...-black-led-drl-r8-style-projector-headlights/) however I would make sure if you are looking to change them, check that they are similar to yours as some ibiza's have a single dipped and high beam whereas others have seperate dipped and high beam (I don't know if you can change a single to double or vice versa).
