Question Where/What to Tap for constant power?

I've ordered a set of Demon Eyes and rather than tapping into my parking lights, I'd like to tap into a constantly powered source so that the Demon Eyes are constantly only when the car is on. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

what year is your car? If its 03-05, then you can tap into the DRL (Daytime Running Lights...the blinkers in the headlights) that is always on. For 06 and up...um...don't know.

Ya, I have an 05. I have a Sedan, if that makes a difference.

I could see tapping into the blinker in the headlight, but wouldn't the power only be if the turn-signal is used...I dunno.

I'm not sure if the 05 sedans have DRL. If you have them, you'll know if you have them. When you turn on your car, the blinkers lights are constantly on.

ON-

I don't have DRLs, sorry for the miscommunication.

Any other ideas as to where to tap for power?

Sometimes the easiest thing to do is just run a wire inside the car and go straight to ign at the ign harness should be black/red but test it....
