Ok I will bite...what happens if I don't disable the DRLs? So far they have been fine. Follow up question assuming the reason is valid...how do I disable the DRLs?
I'm assuming you have single bulb headlights. Some Topkicks have dual headlamps I.e. separate hi and lo. If you have seperate hi and lo headlights, ignore everything below;)
If you bought standard HIDs, or hi-beam HIDs with Halogen high-beams, nothing will happen. Standard HIDs won't even come on, and halogen high-beam HIDs will operate the DRLs as normal.
If you bought Hi/Lo HIDs, where the bulb moves position, using them without disabling DRLs will probably burn up the controller and/or positioning solenoids.
BTW - Are you using the stock headlight housing? If yes, you are not making the most of your HIDs, and you are most likely blinding other drivers. Hella makes a conversion housing with an appropriate lens for HIDs. We used them on several of the fleet trucks, and they were well worth the investment.
