Aftermarket Headlights Install

[Rambo0150]

Help needed please.

I have a set of aftermarket headlights for my 08 Ram that have halogen low/high beam headlights, signal/parking lights and some leds. Im trying to figure out how to wire the leds as my daytime running lights instead of the halogens. The headlights have 2 extra wires in the back for the leds that im not sure where to connect to. My problem right now is my halogens flicker when used as daytime. They're clearly not designed to handle a lower voltage but im just not sure how to separate them.

Could you post a picture of the wires

I have a picture on my phone right now. I can take a better one when I get home. The small red and black are for the leds and the bigger one is the 3 prong plug and play for the halogens.

Positive and negative to your running lights, assuming the LEDs are supposed to be on when the running lights are. You'll have to tap em in

I’ve got an 03. I plan to wire the LED halo/led strips into my fuse box to be used as DRLs.
- Do I need a resistor?
- If so, how do you wire it between the headlight LED wires and the fuse tap? (I’ve only seen the ones that plug into the harness...which I’m not using for the LEDs)?

Thanks!

Update to ^^^
Against everybody’s better judgement, I installed my new Spyder headlights that my brother got me for the holidays. When I installed them, I hardwired the LED halos and LED dot lights into the accessories for DRL...the truck never had those before. When properly aligned, they put out some good light. And I think they look pretty badass.

And I put some LEDs in the fogs, reverse, and cargo.

I like the look of those lights. Where did your brother get them?

I think directly for Spyder? Maybe amazon?

Ok thanks I'll take a look on Amazon and see, I've got a gift card for them laying around somewhere.
