There are a couple different ways. You need to tap into a constant 12 volt power source, a switched power source and a ground. For the constant power I tapped into the hot cable behing the cover on the fire wal. The ground that one should be easy. For the switched power I ran more wireing to a side marker light, that way when the parking lights are on the angel eyes will come on too. A word of advice: keep that relay from moisture I have a prob will the relay getting corrosion and causing intermittent operation. Hopefully that helps.

i got my power from the low beams power, that way i didnt have to worry about any extra wiring. i just have the cheap $12 angel eyes off ebay installed on my highbeams, they work great! and look awsome too!

I asked this question from another thread before this one. Can you give me the part number and any pertinent infomation to order them I assumed you got them from this guys: http://www.xtralights.com/ I just want to make sure I do get the correct one. In this case the one with angle eyes. On my way to work which is early another is Bimmer always headed the opposite direction he or she always has just the driving lights on and the angle eyes. It's an awesome site.
