I have searched many times about how to hook up my kc daylighters. I am gonna try tommrow. I just have a question, I want the lights to be able to be switched on whenever I want. From what I have searched to go on with the high beams only wire it into the high beam wire, low beam etc, but for whenever, hook the switch up to ether the parking lights wire, which I think is brown, and dont know where it is exactly, or hook it into a fuse. I think I will go with the fuse one. I can just run the wire from the switch right to my fuse box under the dash? What does this entail. I just want to get detail on where to hook it up to. You can just stick the wire in one of the 15 amp. fuses, then stick the fuse back in. Sorry if I am being redundant, but I am no wiring genius and want to do this right tomm. If anyone can elaborate that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Looks like you didnt search enough :p
I wired them through a relay with an inline fuse, much safer and simpler once you figure out the relay wiring. Dont run to the rusebox, thats just begging for problems unless you have an aftermarket box made for accesy. like me, You can run them to a switch mounted anywhere you want, just go to walmart or radiocrap, or any auto store and pick one up. Search around for information on how to wire relays, I know there is a few diagras somewhere however the relay will have a diagram with it so as long as your capable of doing this projects you should have no problem with that.
And make sure you solder and heatshrink your connections like I did, if you dont know how then learn. its a great time to teach yourself and you lessen the chances of failure due to mud or whatever and fire.
