Default 98 XJ Daytime Running Lights Relay

Hi guys,
I've been searching for a while but have not really been able to find my DRL relay, or specifically what it looks like. All I know is its on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Mine has been screwing with my bixenon headlight relay and I don't really want DRL's anyways...

Anyone?

The only connector I can see that really matches the description seems to have vacuum lines hooked up to it. I dont wanna start unplugging random stuff though

I just wanted to update this -- I do not believe that I have a DRL relay box like some other XJ's. The spot for the DRL relay in the fuseholder also does not have any pins in it.

On a whim I unplugged my foglight relay in the engine box PDC, and it turned out to fix my issue (well mostly). I still have voltage on the high-beam wire, but it decreased by 1v when I removed the foglight relay which seems to be enough to allow me to activate/deactivate my high beam relay without issue.

The main turn-on relay stays active unless I flick the high-beam lock on, but I actually like the option to run DRL mode if I choose (Helps with the people that cant seem to see a Jeep on 33's coming straight for them).
