On the ranger there is a mod that when you splice a wire from the blinker to the running light. This makes the running light flash either in sequence with the directional or opposite the blinker when the driving lights are on. So has anyone heard of mod like this? Thanks
I bought a product from webelectricproducts.com that allows you to do this though. It makes your front turn signals DRL's and you can attach a sync-wire to perform the function you're looking for.

I plan on doing this exact same thing to my truck with a couple of relays. The first relay will allow the LED's to function in sequence with the blinkers during the day and the second will make them opposite at night.
Relay one connects the LED's to the blinker circuit through the normaly closed contacts during the day. The lighting circuit will activates the first relay.
Relay two allows the LED's to function as running lights through the normally closed contacts when relay one is activated. The blinker circuit will activate the second relay. When the second relay activates it will cut power to the LED's.
The relays SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) and have 5 terminals. I may have 85 and 86 mixed up the silk screen isn't clear and I haven't used these relays before...
86 - 12V (for activating relay)
85 - Ground (for activating relay)
30 - Main
87a - Normaly Closed Terminal
87 - Normaly Open Terminal
Relay 1
86 - Lighting Circuit +
85 - Ground
30 - + to LED's
87a - Blinker Circuit
87 - to 30 on Relay 2
Relay 2
86 - Blinker Circuit +
85 - Ground
30 - to 87 on Relay 1
87a - Lighting Circtuit + (or 12V+)
87 - None
The tricky part is going to be figuring out how to get wires into the cab so I can run both sides from the same relays.
Best of luck!

Thats a good idea, where's that little speaker hiding again anyways?
