Wiring is the same, we however have a Relay in the fuse box that runs the DRL's

This, plus a module in the CDN cluster, works the DRLs.

Ooooh, really... where is this module, and do you have to have the entire cluster to run it? So, say I could get my hands on a CND spec neon, and get out whatever it is in the cluster I need and then plug in the relay, I could run DRL?

You need to swap the entire gauge cluster and add the relay.

As you can see there's nothing other than bulbs you can pull to swap from the cluster board:

^^What he said. This is why I don't have DRLs yet, no money to buy a CDN cluster.
