Suggestions: Fog Light HID DRL

Just wanted to get some help to be able to hook-up a fog light HID and make them run as DRLs (run on the ignition at all times). I a picking up the DDM 3000K 35Watt kit and new fog lights(Amazon – mine a are cracked – the current fogs work perfectly fine).

I just wanted to know if anyone knows the easiest way on how to hook them up. You are welcome to suggest something different.
I am doing this so I can register the car in Canada and hooiking up a canadian maxima stock DRL unit would be way more involved. So I decided to go aftermarket.

Thanks guys.

Why don't you just turn on the fog lights at all times? I did the fog light mod a while back to make the fogs turn on by itself without having the headlights on. Now I have my fogs on at all times even when my headlights aren't turn on. There is a thread somewhere in here showing you how to tap into the ignition wires using wire taps and splices, that will help you out. Cheers!

Thanks guys. I wish it was that simple. The lights have to be on the entire time the ignition is on. With that being said, They cannot be on a switch or the car will not pass inspection. They have to turn on the entire time.
