You can have them run as DRLs, splice into the cigarette lighter wiring under the passenger's side dash (under the glove box). I also use slightly bigger gauge wires I think they are 18g. You could also wire a switch to the center console from the cigarette lighter so you can turn them on and off whenever you please. (as long as car is on, I don't remember if it works with accessory mode)

I am re-doing my HL's and looking into wrapping them CF. So I have yet to wire these ones. But that is what I did for me side shine LED strip when I had them.

Ya,I did some research and found that in Canada the the lights are programmed to run all the time,where as the states aren't required to do so. I pulled my drl fuse and the lights turn off on that setting. So I just have to wire the halos up to some other power source. So the cigarette lighter should do the trick?
Thanks for the input.

Yes it will work. It worked for me so I don't see why not. I also used a toggle switch to have the option of turning them on and off whenever I please. Good luck and keep us posted.
