: If you wanted to have the parking/running lights come on at all times when the ignition is turned on, such as on the Canadian cars........ would that be a simple change as well......i.e. a headlight switch?

No. This one is a challenge. The wiring schematics for the Canadian cars are different, plus the LKM is different.

: Or does the light control module have to be changed?

I'd say yes, although I haven't tried this approach.

: Can the the LCM be re-programed in the car?

I've been told by the shop foreman at one of the local dealerships that it is possible to recode the LKM. The problem is no one seems to know what the correct coding would be. Several of us would like to have the flash-to-pass lights operate as "headlights" without having the pop-ups in the up position, or having to hold the switch on the steering column. I would think with a little research we could come up with a way to maybe add a relay and swtich to make the flash to pass lights operational as driving lights. Has anyone done this?
