Question How to rewire parking lights to be on during the day with DRL disabled?

Hey everyone, I searched and didn't find anyone else who had done this. I got tired of the odd look of having the stock high beam running at partial power as the daytime running lights (DRL) not matching the 6k HIDs and LED parking lights, so I had the DRL disabled on my car using Techstream.

I would like to rewire the parking lights to be always on when the engine is running and the light stalk is on Auto to effectively replace the DRL and increase my car's visibility to other drivers during the day. Figured it wouldn't hurt to check here before I start looking for wiring diagrams and tapping into wires in the engine bay.

What you can do is turn off the DRL lights using a eBay cable. Then you can leave the city lights on. That is my current setup.
