Default Need to find constant hot for headlight install.

So long story short i bought some headlights with a led light strip. I installed them according to the instructions in the box. (Instructions said to wire + and - wires from headlights, up to the + and ground of the cars blinker lights). I did that and they only work when the blinker is active. I figured as much considering the way it is wired but I wanted to wire them up to a constant hot so I can turn the led light strip on with my actual headlights. Just need to find the right wire. (2000 Honda civic lx) thanks in advance.

fuse box under dash, one with red dot. That slot is +12VDC battery power. If you want to power it with the corner lights, connect to the #2 slot instead. That is for the parking lights.

okay found that. so there’s a solid red wire in slot 5 (red dot) and a yellow and red wire in slot 2. I have them already wired to the corner lights, just wanted to know which wire to switch over tried to reverse them from 2 to 5 and 5 to 2 and nothing changed. LED strip only activated when turning signal was active.

recheck your wiring. Those two power slots have nothing to do with the turn signals.
