Just installed depo fixed headlights on my c5. Is there anyway I can run low beams at DRLs without splicing into wires and fuses?

Contact one of the electronic guru's. You are going to need the DRL relay to trigger the headlight relay. Seems simple enough, but I don't know the best way to tell you to accomplish this.

Maybe putting a piece of electrical tape over the light sensor?

Don't think there's a good way to do it without splicing a few wires.
