[s-cars] Keeping DRLs with a McCullough HID kit via the fogs? Isit possible?

[Fred Munro]

Dave;

I bypassed the DRL resistor so the HIDs get full power when the DRLs are on.
You could feed the fogs via the DRL circuit if you wanted to do a bit of
wiring. The HIDs have a long life - I run them all the time.

Contrary to many people, I actually like DRLs and wouldn't want to lose
them when converting the low beams to HID via a McCullough kit.  I know
there are procedures to disable the DRLs so the circuit doesn't kill the
HIDs
 prematurely.  However, has anyone looked at keeping a form of DRL, i.e.
 running the fogs (at 70% power) while disabling the DRL to the low beam
 circuit.  I am sure it could be done, probably just by re-routing the DRL
power to the fogs via a relay (or relays).  I would still want to be able to
 switch the fogs on full via the normal circuit as well as the HID lows via
the headlight switch.

Any Canadian-types (Fred?) done this yet?

I like the McCullough HID conversion but I will not give up my DRLs.
