Interested in this same topic. I read somewhere that someone wired them to come on with the side markers but needed to use capacitors to keep them from flickering. I may tackle this in the spring.

Basically the best way for you guys with 2011s is to rewire the voltage source of the DRLs to 12v via a basic auto relay. search for the "DRL installed having issue" thread of mine, a few pages in, one of the other members talks about how he rewired his 2011 the way youre looking for.
