The DRL's should be off when you have your e-brake pulled.

Engaging the E-brake is always a good idea when you park, and this will solve the DRL issues as well.

i thought so too but no that doesnt work btw im in Canada where its law to have DRL

i think you should be able to VAG your lights to US or other country regions so the DRL is off

on my B7 i was able to

karmad, I'm Canadian too. Maybe the e-brake detect wire is not working. Does it give you the e-brake warning on the dash when its engaged?

evilgabbie, I *like* people having DRLs. It seems common sense to turn on your headlights at dusk/dawn isn't so common. Anything that makes me more visible in big-ass truck praries is a benefit IMO.

no e-brake warning when i pull my e-brake as a B5 is that suppose to happen?

My fogs and tails are on as soon as the ignition is on. I think it's normal on our cars. You can change Country as evilgabbie said, and they will be off...always. You need to manually turn them on with the light stalk. One click up.

edit: Why would you want your lights off when you remote start? People are less likely to break into a car that is running. It's not like your doors will be unlocked.
