Day Time Running Lights

Can someone enlighten me?

I do not have DRL on my explorer. I want to locate and use the relay that activates these so i can use it to trip a relay and activate another set of lights when the vehicle is in drive...

...and that brings me to my other question. How do the DRL work on the explorers? Do they only come on when the car is in drive or do they come on when the car itself comes on? Thanks guys

According to my Owner's Guide, fuse #14 (10A) and relay #51 are for DRL; these are in the box by the master cylinder. Don't know if your '02 is the same. If you do this, let us know how it works out.
