DRL US/rest of the world

DRL US/rest of the world
I'm a bit confused about the differences of DRL's in US and the rest of the world or if there are any.
I myself have low beams, high beams, parking lights and fog lights.
When I turn the headlight switch to Auto-mode none of the above lights lit up unless it's dark outside (just figured this out recently).
Is this the case in the US too?
I have always used the manual switch to turn my headlights and parking lights on (the one just before the Auto-mode).
There have been some threads about DRL's and some have referred the high beams as DRL's and some have said the parking lights are the DRL's.
It's illegal here to drive without your headlights on so I guess in order to make any good use of the Auto-mode I'd have to install some stupid (they rarely are good/OEM looking) LED's in front of my car that are lit up during daytime.
If I decide to do that, where do I connect the LED DRL's to get them work and lit up with the Auto-mode on?

Mine is Canadian spec and the high beams are on at 50% power at the first 2 light settings.
With the headlights "on", the high beams turn off, and the small 194 bulb inside the high beam (inner headlights) comes on

I didn't quite understand what you meant with that second sentence.
I have the settings like this:

That's just what I meant with these differences. When my headlight switch is in 'OFF' position then my headlights truly are off.

When the lights are off the high beam bulbs come on at 50% power as the Drls, I believe some 98 US spec cars did not have drls. The 194 bulb comes on with the parking lights, first click, and the high beam bulb stays on at half power. When the headlights are turned on, the low beams come on and the high beam drl turns off, the 194 bulbs stay on.
