Question before jumping to conclusions, Does your headlights blink really quickly for a few seconds when your drl's should turn on when you drive?

If it does, replace your headlight bulbs. That will fix it. Your DRLs or run on your passanger side.

Replace the bulbs would be easier. Im not sure if you disable the DRl's would fix it. When ever a light like that flickers on and off really fast, that usually means a light is burnt out. Just an FYI.

but it happens every time he turns his car on, and also his high beams work...

could still mean his Low Beams are out, remember they are dual filament bulbs, to one filament is burned out and the other isn't. Obvisouly you use Low Beams more than High Beams
