ever the jeep is running.
Last four switch settings are....... up, down, down, down.

It still doesn't answer my question though. European mode worked as you described on my 2009, but not on my 2012.
Did AEV change it for 2012?

Yea that's just from my old instructions. Works on my '09. Was just clarifying that it was
mentioned in instructions a couple of years ago.
Guess they must have changed something in the 2012. Sorry I couldn' be of more help.

Hopefully somebody will chime in with some 2012 knowledge.

Anyway, I tried it, and it works as you described.
I'm going to run this mode for a while and see if it starts eating headlight bulbs.
Maybe it doesn't work on the 2012 because there is an "Automatic" position on the stalk.

Unfortunately I don't have the "Automatic" position on my stalk. I'm not sure it is available on the Sport S.

The 2012 owner's manual says they would turn on at dusk, though. Wouldn't help since you want DRLs.
That still could be related to why it doesn't work for you.
Next time you get a chance, would you try the extended idle, and see if they dropped the time-out? Mine will time-out after something like 5 minutes.

2012s are on the lots so time for my annual update:
- Wheels - No conflicts
- Front Bumper - Minor changes made to the winch mount for the electric vacuum pump, new winch mounts are backward compatible.
- Suspension - Minor changes to the control arm drop brackets to clear the 3.6L exhaust. Diesel JK with Euro 4 Emissions package with particulate filter has an interference with the drop brackets, must order AEV DPF tube, part #40306080 that reroutes the DPF pressure differential tube.
- Corners - No conflict
- Snorkel - Late availability for new 3.6 and HEMI version of the snorkle (larger diameter), new tooling in process. 2.8 CRD is carryover and is available.
- ProCal - 3.6L has no provision for High Idle, Euro DRL no longer works.
- Jack Base - No conflict
- Tire Carrier - No conflict
- Rear Bumper - No conflict
- Heat Reduction Hood - No conflict
- HEMI kits - Late Availability

To be honest, I was surprised when my Jeep did NOT have auto headlights.
