There is no separate wire that is dedicated to the DRL. DRL is created by sending 6 volts (?) to the lamp instead of 12 volts. You will have to tap into a wire that has voltage only when the car is on. I don't know if there would be a way to make your aftermarket DRLs go off when the headlights are turned on without adding additional components.

I can't remember if it is 6v or if it is 12v pulsing on and off making a 6v average. Not that it matters.
