Mine in an 02 XLT and I don't have DRL. Was that an option or maybe part of the Eddie Bouer Package?

If you already have DRL..you can rewire the relay out to something else. I know that on some 06 Navigator the DRL drives the fogs. Try looking between the washier fluid and radiator frame. you might see a plastic box with two relays on it. one is for the DRL. let me know what you find.

cammdoc...I don't know too much about your 2000 EB, there is a diagram on the relay. with that you can figured out what the output for the DRL would be. to test it just pull out the wire for that pin # and run your own DRL wire from it to some LED strips. if you want to hook it up to the fogs you can disconnect the original fog wire (+) and use the new wire that you just ran from the relay.
remember to tape up any wire that is bare/loose just for safety..
My 06 don't have DRL so I ran a fused wire from the junction box to a pair of LED strips. Same idea.
