I have a pair of the Diode Dynamics SSc2, which have the backlight feature. Mine are in amber and, though they're not wired in to my DRLs directly, I do have them setup to basically be on amber mode when not on white mode.

How did you wire the DRL feature? I got a rough country light bar with DRL but I don’t want to click the switch on and off every time I get in the carI have a pair of the Diode Dynamics SSc2, which have the backlight feature.

So I didn't technically wire these into the DRL feature. Basically what I've done is change my DRLs to be my parking lights all the way around (fronts, side markers, and taillights). So if you do that and wanted to have these come on as DRLs, there are a number of methods I'm sure, but what I would do is connect the switch power to something that only turns on when the parking lights come on and just leave the switch in the ON setting. That way the lights won't/can't come on unless the parking lights (set as DRLs in this case as well) come on. But you could also turn the light bar off if need be too.
If you don't want to change the parking lights to be DRLs, you could look around and see which wires and/or fuses are dedicated to the DRL function and tap into those for the switch power.
My setup is slightly different in that my lights are wired to a fuse location which is active only when the vehicle is turned on, not necessarily when it's in D/R. So I can use these lights at any time when the vehicle is turned on, and not worry about mistakenly leaving them on when the vehicle is turned off.
Hopefully that makes sense and is helpful.
