There are aftermarket DRL kits available; don't think anyone on this forum has installed one and/or reported results.

Turn your headlights on all the time, or trade your car with one of the many Canadians trying to figure out a way to turn their DRLs off.

Don't know about the Canadian trade, but I'm using the low beams all the time now. Had a couple of "near hits" and figure it's worth it.
