Daytime lights are often run in series. Normal car lights typically
had a relay feeding battery power through a couple of fuses and a
filament selector switch on the ground legs. In such a system, you
need to open the common ground leg of the low beam filaments. Then
connect one lamp's hot to ground and the other lamp's hot to the
battery (through a least one fuse). Finally some logic to switch it
back to normal when the main lights are activated. It would require a
3PDT 10 to 20 amp relay and other bits for the logic. There may be a
retrofit kit from the car maker though. Ask around.
