I bypassed my DRL and used HALO's instead. You will have to transfer the power from the DRL to the HALO's.
I used 2 relay switches and a resistor.

I just wired my halo's into the cabin fuse box with an add a circuit. Found a spot that had power only when the key was in the on position and ran a wire to the engine compartment. The parking lights are on in this picture but they do not need to be. I am now thinking about installing Diode Dynamics switch back halos. They flash amber when the turn signal is activated.

I think the subject is turning them off. I want to find that out too but instead of the headlights coming on (DRL's) I want to have halos come on instead and have them go off when the headlights are turned on. And no I don't have fog lights

Bringing US Mustang to Canada
I am moving back to BC Canada from the US with my US mustang. I have to have my DRL turn on when the lights are set to off and the car is started. Right now, with the current factory US settings , the daytime running lights only come on when the car is put into gear. What was your solution to this problem?

A quick Check of A Ford Parts Database shows me Only two Different SJB'S for the 05 Mustang One Coupe and One Vert. Assuming you have an 05-09 I realize you did not say what year you had but Topic was for those Years, So I suspect Programming is Doable. I Also cross checked Database and it Showed the KPH Clusters for Canada so Canadian parts are Listed in Database Used!
Another Idea is Do a Post {Drl Help from CANADIAN {Year Model} Mustang Owners} and ask Exactly how their DRL'S Function on Their Mustangs. That is the In gear vs The Ignition on. I know we did have some Canadian Members here back in the Day! Just a thought!
Pulled This out of Owners Manual does not mention gear selection though
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped) Turns the headlamps on with a reduced output. When activated, the DRL telltale is illuminated. To activate: • the ignition must be in the ON position, • the headlamp control is in the OFF or parking lamp position and • the parking brake must be disengaged.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision
Good Luck
