Is there anyway to wire driving lights on the '08 so they will be on whenever the ignition is on?

you can have the 08 reflashed to have day time running lights on.

only thing i dont remember if they turn on when vehicle runs or in gear.
 






you could just put the lights on auto and cover the light sensor on the dash, I do that sometimes when its cloudy enough that you should have lights on but the sensor doesn't think so

I'm asking about auxillary lights. Sorry for not clarifying.

Factory fog/driving lights or add-on/aftermarket?

Add-on's is easy, factory a bit more complicated.
 






I finally wired the lights to a fuse in the under hood fuse box which is only hot with the ignition on. It works well. The lights look too bright for night time though unless I tilt them way down. I tried wiring them to a high beam wire and it trips a breaker. Right now I'm just glad to have them back like they were.
