Just wire your auxilary lights to their own separate switch. Don't tie them in to the factory lights. Unless you have to have it, bypass the DRL junk.

Need a little more info here. What wires did you tap/redirect? How are you powering the lights? Relay? If so, how is it hooked up?

Also, am I correct to assume this is a Canuck truck, and not an uhsah model?
