The turn signal/marker lights have 2 wires. Get a voltmeter to see which one you have to tap into (12v+). Black is normally ground, but still, test it!
LED DRL wiring help
Hey all! I have posted about this in the past, and got a good answer... for part of my project. I got these XKGLOW drl switchback led strips to put into the retrofit headlights I am making myself. Now, although I have done some wiring in my car before, I’m still not incredibly skilled in it, and need some help with where the wires should go and the best way to go about it. Below should be a diagram of the wires. I want to hook the white drl wire up to the fuse that goes to the radio, so when the car is powered on the strip comes on. As for the other 3 wires (red, black, and yellow) I’m not exactly sure on where to connect those wires. I was thinking of bolting down the negative to a bolt somewhere in the engine bay, and the red to the positive on the battery, and the yellow to one of the wires in the wiring harness for the turn signals, just not sure which wire. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, especially since I’m not sure the best way to go with this. Thank you!

So under the hood there is nothing you SHOULD tap into being they are major functions of your car. However, inside, under the dash, there is a fuse for the radio. Before you go tapping into this, what are the volt/amp requirements of the DRLs? They should not exceed what the OEM (factory) can handle. If they are lower (we know it requires 12v, but how many amps does it need? I'm thinking not alot ............), when tapping, use an Add-a-Fuse product (safest way... use Youtube on how to use/install one safely). Hope this helps,
