Have you tried tapping into the park / marker light circuit on the tail light ? If you turn your light switch to the first position using the stock lights, a bulb will come on. If you trace the circuit it is possible to identify the wires controling this lamp.

Good luck.

yeah i will try that but i am not sure sure of cutting wires becuase i don't know wwhich wires to cut. if i had a step by step sheet with picture that would be so much easy. but i came up with no luck from google

Just look for a light that is on when your headlights are on, but doesn't flash when you are signalling (parking lights, side markers, headlights... depends on the car). Cut the wires for that one, splice in your angel eye wires, done!

the easiest way would probably be to make a list fo all fo your fises take a test light, open your fuse box with the car OFF key OUT, poke down the side of each fuse, cross off any of the ones that light up. Then start the car, test them again, again crossing off all of the ones that have power, then purn your running lights on, and any one that has power with your running lights on but not on any of the other 2 tests will work, just put the power wire for the angels under one of the posts the fuse and put the fuse back in, then put the ground to any bolt that has a ground. you mgiht also want to put in an in line fuse rated at slightly above whatever your angel eyes use (which is probably nearly nothing since most angel eyes are only run by 2 leds)

(i know there are less ghetto ways of doing this, but this is the easiest way to explain)

You need two things here:

1. FSM
2. Multimeter

You don't need to cut any factory wires if you use wire taps.
