DRLs are required by law in canada, and half the country (eastern canada does not count) has limited sunlight for more than half a year, it's beneficial to them as much as scandinavians do... the ones in very northern latitudes in other words
the US and Australia however have many many hours of sunlight per day, per year, that's why it's useless/wasteful to have DRLs in these countries, that's why the US studies have been inconclusive
when looking at studies from a different country when one isn't available from your own, it's always a good idea to look for one from a country that has a comparable climate, comparable road system and driving style... the US is pretty close (yeah, Australia is hotter, so what?)... European or Canadian studies won't do for that reason, definitely not for Japanese either... other countries? which countries are highly industrialised with their own automotive industries to conduct their own studies? Not any outside of those regions I mentioned
