Default JDM Headlights

I got a set of JDM headlights with day time running lights in them. I want the daytime lights to turn on when the car turns on. That mean s that I can't directly wire it to the battery. What is your best suggestion to get then to turn on when the car does? Thanks

Check the fuse box and see which ones are hot when the car is on and not when it is off. Then wire them into that fuse.

go to your main relay, find the fuel pump wire, relay off of that. when the car is running, i.e fuel pump on, your city lights will be on.

That will work but do you really want to hook something else up to you fuel pump, I think that the best way is to wire them up to the ignition wire under the dash. I dont remember the color wire right off hand but it is in the main hareness going under you dash to the steering column. I will check tomorrow if you need the corect color.

if your wastin time running wires into the car use the one of your cd player, you would be fine hookin it up ot any of the sources mentioned just use a relay so the power draw isnt to high
