iron man running as del wiring

i wanna install iron man leds onto my g37 coupe and wanted them to run as my drl lights. how would i go about wiring this mod? i don't want a extra switch installed in my cabin, i wanna install it in a way that when i switch my light switch (where the steering wheel is) to the drl setting the iron man leds will pop on. i know ill have to splice the pigtails and I'm fine with that just can someone guide me as to what wire i have to splice?

Get some T taps and tap into your parking lights if you want them to turn in with the parking lights. Personally, I tapped into my windshield reservoir so that my halos are on whenever the ignition is set to ON.

Yea but how do I wire all the wires into one wire? For example look I have 10 LEDs going on one shroud. Each led has two wires (red and black) that makes it 20 wires on one headlight. I have to splices 20 wires into one wire?

^ I would either a) solder or crimp them all together or b) get a fused distribution block for them. B would probably be the proper way of doing things.

Dude ... sounds like you are not technically up to doing this work. You need to understand basic DC Electricity and have a volt meter.

I never said I was "technically" ready to do it. That's why I'm asking for help so I could be "technically" ready for it. All I'm asking for is which wire do I connect to which? I know the led has two wires, one that's black and one that's red (a positive and a negative.) I also know that the parking light has three wires, a white one, a green and white, and a green and black. I know the white wire is ground and one of the green ones is the parking light and the other one is a positive or something like that. We all start from not knowing **** but we learn. And that's what I'm trying to do. So instead of telling me I can't do it, help me better understand this.

I don't know Spanish but I do know I would never attempt to learn it by asking people questions here and there. Doing Iron Man LED headlights should be left to the experts. Just taking your headlight assembly apart correctly (and putting back together) is a very difficult task to do right. I was pointing out this seem's to be out of your league but if you want to plunge ahead got for it. I'll wait for the post where you say your headlights leak and they don't work, etc.

I took my headlights apart over 3 months ago, painted them and sealed em back up and till this day no leaks or anything....just because you don't feel like expanding your knowledge doesn't mean others aren't willing to...
