Diode Dynamics Fogs to RS 1.0 Lights?

Hey guys, so I just picked up a set of Foglights from Diode Dynamics and I'm having trouble tapping them to my HID's. I'm not sure which line on the RS 1.0 cable bundle is the low beams, and that's what I'm looking to add them onto.

Search hasn't exactly been the most helpful and most people just say to get a switch; but I just want a clean tap. Diode Dynamics themselves haven't been the most helpful...at all...

Any help?

You can easily tap the parking lights it you are looking for a clean tap

We are here to help if you need anything, but these videos are very helpful: (314) 205-3033

Well, I would like to tap it to the headlamps, but are the parking lights a safe alternative and also marked in red/black? Wouldn't tapping them to that location cause one of the fogs to light up each time that turn marker is lit up?

All you need is a 12V positive and ground to power them

I wouldn't complicate things by tapping the HID wiring, when you have other locations available that may be easier to access.
