Are you just changing the low beam bulbs to hid bulb + ballast or doing a more extensive change?
Headlamp houses high-beam and low-beam.
DRL uses high-beam bulb with each bulb getting about 6v instead of 12v.
Usually, the high beam should not be messed with when installing the HID,
HID can only operate on 12v -> ballast -> high voltage -> hid-bulb
You should check the instructions from the manufacturer of the HID setup you.
12v going to ballast should be independent of auto/manual head-lamp-on. (it should not matter).
Lastly, try going to the site of the HID manufacturer as they should provide you with the needed information.
