Hey guys. I have a 2011 nissan maxima. I have a high mounted third brake light that sits on the inside of my rear windshield. I wired this light so it works as a brake light and sequential turn signals. I was able to do that by tapping into the rear headlights wiring housing, then using a multimeter to see which wire does what. My question is, I just bought some drl strips for the front headlights. I’ll drop a pic down below. I was able to use an add a circuit kit to tap into my washer fuse and have them come on and off with the car. They also have a turn signal function, but I couldn’t figure out where the wiring housing was for the front headlights in order to tap into the turn signals. Any clue where those wires would be?

By rear headlights do you mean tail lights? Any reason you can't tap into the wire that plugs into the signal bulb?
I previously tapped into the tail light connections in order to wire the third brake light to the brake and turn signal connections. Now i’m dealing with the headlights, but am unsure where the wires are to tap into the turn signals.

The wires are plugged into the headlight harness, they're right behind the headlight. Just follow where the turn signal bulb is and you see where the wires are plugged into it. It's a plug with 3 wires, looking at the plug with the tab facing up, it'll be the wire on the right.
This diagram should help you. The picture is of the headlight, so imagine the plug plugged into it to see what wire is for turn.
