Use the earth and possitive wire from the side lights then they will come on when you switch on the sidelights.  I did similiar thing with lower bumper grill fog lights

Firsty but drl look sh1t lol but if you like them where are they  going to go?

Best thing to do is feed wires through to each sidelight. So left drl two wires going to left sidelight ..then take out the sidelight and disconect the wires going to it then connect wires from drl up  .. should be two wires running to sidelight.. if not use one the sidelight and you will need the brown earth wire.. (not 100% on colors as been 2 years since i done this lol) ...some insulation tape.. and conect sidelights back up.. the propa way is to wire them to a switch and relay but iv done above way for about year on lower bumper fogs and will do it again on my 4mo :smiley:

Where are you planning on placing the leds? Inside the headlights themselves?
