    So i recently installed LED lights for that raptor look. I have them tapped into the parking lights/DTRL, which is great until i turn on the headlights and they shut off.

    My current solution is of course doing the ol' Add-a-circuit and have them turn on and off with the ignition and always have them on which is great, but i kinda like having them tied to the DTRL for one feature.

    When i use my keyless entry to lock and unlock they blink with the DTRLs!! i love that! of course i will lose that going with the add a circuit.

    so my question is....is there a way to wire these things up so they stay on with all lights and also blink with the lock and unlock feature?? is this where a relay comes into play??

    any info is appreciated!

    I think you could wire in a relay from your dtrl wires. Tapped into the wiring of the add a circuit. something like that.. I'd have to think about how to wire it up. Someone else will probly chime in. But yeah a relay should do it.
