I have them and I wired them into the little bulb that turns on when you put the headlight switch on its first setting. Its the bulb that is under the daytime running bulb.

the 2005 model is a lil different........when you start the car...only the drls which also serve as the turn signals come on............am wondering if i can splice the cable and power both drl/turn signals and the angel eyes together........anybody knows the fuse rating of the turn signal fuse..or the power draw of the the ngel eyes?
edit: noob question above!!...i think i understand the system fully......wiring the angel eyes to the parking lights/1st turn of the headlight on switch is the best option....only drawback is that youhave to manually turn on the parking lights/angel eyes anytime you start the car..or permanently leave the switch on

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am looking into doing this as well. As mentioned previously if I were to wire these with my parking lights, then I would need to turn the parking lights on to have my angels on. Right?
I'm thinking i should delete the drls (change the signal flasher relay) and then wire the angels to ign (or another "on" 12 constant) so when the car is running, the angels come on automatically, but I still would retain full signal function. And when I turn the parking lights on, the turns will light up along with my angels. And when I turn low beams on, the halos, the parking, and the headlights will all be illuminated.
Does anyone recommend what fuse to tap into? It would have to be one thats live when the car is running, but dead when car is off... I've seen an "add a circuit" fuse tap before, so you can just plug the new circuit into the fuse box, and not be actually splicing and factory wiring. Has anyone else used these?
Is there anything I am missing.

Sorry to bump an old bump, but I'm curious what came of this. I have halos on the way and I noticed that the running/turn light only has two wires (not three). I figured I'd wire the halos to the parking lights (in the headlight housing).
I didn't consider splicing into the ignition wiring until I read the above posts, but I'm also not sure I'd want the lights on any time my key is on. I believe running lights are on with the key, but shut off when the parking brake is on. This would not be an option for me if I wired the hales inline with the ignition (unless I added a relay, which I've never done).
I'm curious if you have any advice for me. Thanks

Another bump on this post... Running into the same issue.
When the headlight stalk is in the "Parking Lights" position, the headlights I have perform the way I want them to ALSO perform when the stalk is in the Auto position and the DRLs are on.
Any ideas?
So after further testing, what I'd like to accomplish, is for the DRL lights with the engine on to function the same as the parking lights with the engine off.
I tried disabling the DRLs totally, but that didn't work either...

I don't have angel eyes, but I do have extra running lights. If you're wanting the lights to just be on when the car is on and off when the car is off, you can tap into the seat heater with one of those "Add a circuit fuse" things. That's what I did with the amber running lights in my grill.

I've thought about doing that too, but I'd like the headlights to function as close to OEM as possible with the DRL system so that if for whatever reason I need to turn all of the lights off, I can at the stalk.
I think I know how to accomplish this theoretically, the physical wiring modifications are what I'm struggling with.
Essentially, there are 2 things that need to happen...
1) How to power the front running lights instead of the Amber corner lights in DRL and Running lights mode once the engine is on.
2) Turn signals are ONLY used when the turn signals or hazards are in use (aka amber lights are no longer used for DRLs).
I have access to the wiring diagram for these trucks, just figuring it all out is giving me a hard time. lol.

You can actually rewire the DRL system to use other light sources besides the turn signals by using a relay. I've recently helped someone who wanted to keep DRLs with his new HID projector retrofit,his retro has white and yellow LEDs in the shrouds so he wired the white LEDs as the DRLs. Since he kept the standard incandescent turn signal bulbs he doesn't have hyper flash issues; but he'll be switching to a SmartTap and LED signals once the adapter harness arrives (on national backorder), even after the 8-pin flasher conversion the shroud DRL function will still remain because the circuit is actually triggered by the body ECU.

Saw this post in another thread, and thought it could help me/us here.
Do you have a wiring diagram showing what the above includes? I think this may be my only way of accomplishing my goals after many hours of reading.. lol.

Just an update:
Attempted to wire a relay that was to be activated by the DRL wire from the turn/flasher relay, but that was unable to supply sufficient power to the relay to close the circuit. It's a cheapo from the parts store, so honestly not surprised.
Wired the white side of my halos and LED Strips into an ignition-activated fuse/circuit and ran that wire to the front of the vehicle.
I believe my next step is to wire in a 5 pin relay and switch so when the vehicle is off, the halos and led strip flashes with locking and unlocking of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is running the Halos and strip are white with the switch available to manually turn off the Halo and LED strip if desired.
I tried searching for an LED Switchback controller that would power different circuits based on a detected input, but no such thing exists.

If you still need a diagram I can post it up, give me a day or two.

@ JONBOY345
can you list your setup and what functions you want done? I'm starting to get confused LOL
So far I've gathered you have both switchback halos and strips, and would like the white circuits (for both halos and strips) to act as your parking lights plus DRLs, and ambers as purely turn signals?

Correct. I have switchback Halos and LED Strips.
I want to integrate them into the OEM system as much as possible, while DRLs and Running Lights are white on the Halos and Strips, and Amber is ONLY the turn signal or hazard light. Additionally, would like the ability to turn off the lights completely at the stalk as well.
Currently, I have disabled the DRL circuit in my truck at the DRL relay. I have wired the white of both LED strip and halo to an ignition on source in the vehicle.
By adding the 5-pin/ relay I hope to re-enable the flicker of the lights when locking/unlocking the vehicle as now that is disabled with the DRL disable. I was also planning on wiring in a switch, that would allow me to turrn off the new white LED circuit if needed while the vehicle is running.
I'd wire the DRL circuit to the 5-pin relay so that circuit is closed when the vehicle is off, wire the new white LED circuit to the relay so that it is only closed when the relay is energized by an ign-on source.
Ideally, I'd love to find a switchback controller that would detect steady 12v and power the white of the LEDs then using the same input source (such as the turn signal wire that functions a DRL and turn signal/hazards), detect pulsing (such as turn signal or hazard) and then power the amber of the LEDs. I've called TRS and Diode Dynamics, and the impression I'm getting is that such a thing doesn't exist.
Hope that's clear as mud. lol.

Understood Do those halos and strips have separate inputs for full and partial brightness for the white circuits?
