I believe you are talking about member Osmeac (think that's his username). He's got a thread with everything he used and did

I did mine. ill try and find the link to the LEDs I used. I believe they are just 3/4" marker leds for a trailer. I have some in the rear aswell.

Wanting to do this like the idea

Very simple. Tied all 3 positive and all 3 negative wires together. Grounded the negatives to a grounding point on the backside of the radiator support. And tied the positives To a fused 4 pin relay that get signal from the ignition fuse.

Yup ^^ it's what I did except that I mounted my lights behind the honeycomb after creating templates out of plastic sheet.

 

Easy day ...

Then just tap into the headlights bro. Since the headlights are DRLs, they'll function exactly how you described. Since T-tap with a quick connector will do the trick.

yep you can do that. I just wired mine to a relay since I was tapping into the ignition for power. I didn't want to increase the load on that. Then the power from the relay to the LEDs is fused so that way If anything shorts out I wont have to sacrifice a relay lol

ok so just tap into the DRL's ...umm say i get 3 or 4 lights? just put the positives together to combine, then just use that and tap into the DRL? say right side wire light? thats fine ? and then just ground the negative to where ever?.......and does anyone recommend a good splicing item?

Correct. If you're going to do it that way, make sure you double check your wiring cause if one of them is on wrong, none of them will work.

 

And use this to tap into the DRLs...
