Can you put daytime running lights on a 1999 Acura TL?

Is it possible to somehow put DRL's on a American TL, I know canada is required to have DRL's but I like the concept of having DRL's on my Acura. Is there a way or no?

Even though I'm in Canada and have DRLs (FYI: for my '00, the DRLs are highbeams at a lower voltage), I leave my HIDs all the time. I had to change my HIDs two years ago (turned pinkish over time), since they got more usage than in most cars that only turn them on at night. That, and the higher electricity usage are the only issues. Many Canadian cars only use their parking lights on as DRLs, so that's another option if you want to be more visible during the day. I don't know if the parking lights turn off automatically after a few seconds like the HIDs, though.

I am pretty sure the parking light cut off after 20 second too
