DRL's + headlights simultaneously..?

There are relays they're just not removable nor easily accessible. They are soldered to a PCB board.
I'm going to add 2 relays and use the high and low beam power at the fuses to control the control side of the added relays then pull power from the B+ terminal of the fuse box to power the DRL's when the headlights are on..

I'm just a wrench puller. If it works send me a diagram if you can.

after looking at this a little more, it looks like 2 - 15 amp diodes and 3 mini fuse power taps will do the trick
I added the relays and everything is working, DRL's on while both high and low beams are on (with no trouble codes) but I think the listed material will make this work by tapping into the fuses on the power side with very little wiring.
Once I get the material I'll post back with results

DRL's
Please post / email directions for adding drl's to headlights, this will ne awesome. email @ OCFDfyrfytr@tahoo.com. Thanks
DRL's
you can put a diode between your parking light relay and your drl relay to have the drls on with the headlights. during the day, on auto, only the drls are on. if this is what you're looking for, let me know, i'll tell you which relay contacts to jump between, and which way the diode goes.

Wow. Great. Cannot find the mini-taps on amazon? At your convenience, describe how to install the diodes. Thanks.

I purchased the mini taps from a local Autozone,
The diodes are installed with the shaded ring closest to the blue terminal (DRL fuse), the mini taps need to be installed on the power side of the fuse so when powered on the high / low beam fuse does not carry the added load of the DRL's. For the 08 when facing the fuse box on the fender side the power side of the fuse is on the right hand side.

Fuse numbers
Its hard to tell from the pictures can you tell me what number fuses that you tapped

I tapped into the hi and low beam headlight fuses with the pink terminals and then the blue terminal is the DRL fuse.
My H2 is a 2008 and can get you the fuse numbers but if yours is not an 08 they may not match,
