Don't know if drl switch and wires without relay would handle extra current, I wouldn't wire them together, unless you power up relay somehow??

Just a few LEDs...

There should be a wire that comes from either the headlight relay or the light switch that signals the DTRLs to turn off when the headlights are on. If you can find this it might be possible to disable it and have the DTRLs on all the time. If you can find an electrical schematic for an '05 it might help.
