It is easy, wire the relay like this: 85 ign, 86 ground, 30 +12V constant or switched ( since this is only going to be used with the vehicle on I would use the ign wire from pin 85), 87 output to lights. This could vary vehicle to vehicle.

May I ask you why you wouldn't simply turn your headlights on?
The reason I ask is that for vehicles running real DRL the unit supplies only a 1/3 the output of power, when compared to full operation.
In the above example given by Auex, the headlights would still be on full power. That would be as simple as you turning the headlights on, yourself.
Unless I am missing something, or you have other intentions here.
BTW: There are a few DRL units made from aftermarket companies. I understand if you wanted to do this yourself for the pride and joy, and knowing it didnt cost very much.
