DRL's are not a requirement in the US for current production. In the US market, my experience with Mercedes is that they are currently driver-selectable (with easy to follow directions in owners manual to program them).

Not sure, I didn't notice the lighting on the few new E's I've seen on the road so far. But probably what you are seeing are DRL's.

but yeah, i saw a few new E here and they are all running with just the LED. to me if they are DRL they are probably a bit too low, but then i don't see anything in the headlight areas during the day, so i am very confused too
maybe someone else can chime in with more info

What you see in the US is a hodgepodge of some cars with no DRLs, some cars with orange DRLs (even mixed with turn signals, a real no-no), no consistent standard in place so far.
