DLR? Do you mean DRL (daytime running lights)? I am not sure on the Patriot... on the Commander they are enabled / disabled using Starscan or AEVs custom configuration tool.
Yes, I get a discount on my insurance if I have them.
Not that I don't trust dealers, you understand, but I would think about getting a second opinion.
I haven't yet found where anyone would need any other equipment than perhaps inserting a fuse in the DRL socket of the fusebox and having the DRL enabled with the Starscan tool.
Does anyone know if there is some additional relay module or something, or something in the wiring diagram or parts list which would indicate what else would be needed?

The DRL are controlled by the TIP module (known as the TIPM) I'll ask around and see if someone knows if the module is physically different or if it gets programmed to have DRL. I have a hunch it is different, as the schematics do not show a DRL relay or resistor, which was the old way to supply the lower voltage to the headlamps when they were acting as running lights.

Did some digging... same TIPM for DRL or no DRL. It can be reprogrammed. If your dealer won't because it was not an option on your vehicle, you are going to have to ask around and find a dealer that will. I'd probably do it in conjunction with some other work you are paying for, like oil changes or tire rotations or something. They are most likely not going to do it if that's all you want done.
