Hey guys, hopefully what I am trying to do isn't too hard.....

I have angel eyes on my car (for those of you who do not know what these are- they are auxiliary lights). Right now they are wired up to come on with the ignition, along with when you unlock the car (when the interior lights come on).
My goal is to retain these features, along with having a manual switch so I can turn them on whenever I want (when key is not in ignition).

I have a toggle switch and wires, now what do I hook everything up to?

Thanks

If it were me, I wouldn't bother with the toggle switch and would just splice them into the power wire for the parking lights. However, I'm not sure if you're trying to avoid the rest of the parking lights being on as well.

I've thought about this, but I really don't want my parks on as well.
Do I need to tap into constant power? If so, how could I tie this into the lights?

Be careful when you are splicing into another power source. Unless you are planning on disconnecting them from the initial source, it could be disastrous (i.e. interior lights come on when you flip the switch, etc.)
