Easy, just splice them into the lights you want them to come on with. Or run them in parallel with the lows or fogs with a diode and you can have them function as normal and have them come on with lows of fogs.

Which one do you want to do? Do you still want them to function like normal and come on with the lows or fogs?

I believe you can do that from the fuse box by using a diode from low relay to drl relay but I forget which pins to jump. Let me search for it or someone who knows might chime in.

Now that I think about it, since you want to disable your drl's and have them on with lows, it might just be easier to do what I first suggested. Cut the drl wires, enough to reach to the lows, and splice them into the lows. Positive of drl to positive of low beam and negative of drl to negative of low beam, and repeat on other side. Then tape the ends of the original drl wires so they don't short on ground just in case you put the relay back in. Sorry for the run around.
