    Is there a way to make the daytime running lights go on with the headlights as oppose to shutting off when the headlights come on?

    They do go on with the headlights. They're just dimmer.

    You should be able to tap into the power wire for the low beems and use that to switch a relay that is tapped into the power for the running lights. I did this with my side marker lights to have my turn signals run as marker lights as well.

    No I was more looking to have the DTRLs go on when I have the headlights on, they shut off when I turn the headlights on

    In that thread, there should be pictures showing the DTRL anytime mod. I can try and look further into it for you. The writeup I don't believe is in the thread itself, but if you PM CSJumper he can tell you how to wire your DTRLs to be on anytime.
