All EU cars have DRL now. But the LEDs are basically what used to be the marker lights on any headlight (the first step in turning on the headlights). More commonly now they are overlapped with the signal lights so when signaling the LEDs just turn from white to yellow. But they're almost always still in the headlight block. When for some reason a manufacturer decides to put them in the fog lamps they run at reduced intensity. Just like when the fog light turn on towards the side you are cornering to help with more light.
