Alright so I just got mine today. But I don't know how I want to install them. Either always bright, or dim with the headlights. Suggestions?

do bright with daytime running lights.. and dim at night with head lights... I think the bright is a little too bright for night time driving... IMO

I'm no good at wiring and this is the step I'm not getting..can anyone clarify a little? I'm not getting how the fuse wire is used and how to tap into the white power wire.

White and blue wires go conected to headlights while the red power wire goes connected to anythig that has ignition power.

Finally had time to finish this..

I don't suggest wiring to the cigarette lighter behind the glove, it is way too much of a hassle just because it's hard to tap into the power wire with barely any room to see and move. I can confirm that the power wire to the radio works exactly the same way as the cigarette power lighter in that when the key is turned, the LED's will always be on (which sucks IMO). I still wired to the cigarette lighter just because it was annoying me. When I finally got it, it was when I was looking inside at about a 45 degree angle from the floor rather than keeping my head directly underneath and staring up. Much easier to reach in that way and still be able to see well enough to position your hands and clamp the wire tap with pliers.

Just received mine today and installed them. I LOVE THEM.

Used the blue wire so they dim when I turn on my headlights. On full-time otherwise.

Finally got mine installed as well. On full bright all the time. Also installed with nigel's OEM foglight harness and button next to trunk button so I can turn them off in case I want to creep up on people. Quality product. Easily one of the most enjoyable mods I have put on my car. Thanks F-T
