I spliced into the parking light. So when I put the parking lights on they come on as well as when I put my headlights on. Just did it today. Ill go take a pic as soon as the Sox game is over.

thats great. so can you give me a couple tips on install, or show exactly where i can find that wire, and what color it is? i'm assuming you just connected the black ground wire to some piece of metal too, or did you splice into an existing ground wire?

I splice right into the grond wire, I think it was black and the green was the positive If I remember correctly.

Well i finished my DRL install yesteraday evening as well. Spliced into the parking light, and i also removed the parking light bulb because it looked like crap with the bright l.e.d.s. only issue i had is that the led strip kind of scuffed up by bumper and it was a really tight fit under the headlight. my led strip is flush with my headlight. did you push yours in more?
