So I should cut the green wire and use something like the tool linked below to tap it to IGN, right? How do I know which wire is IGN?

There is a fuse box located under the hood on the left side. Pop open the cover and install wire to the IGN2 fuse. you will need to splice both green wires together and run a single wire to the fuse. I drilled a hole in the lower part of the fuse box, installed a grommet ran the wire through it to keep out the moisture. No probles thus far.

I can not open the link above, but here is the link that I posted before, if you want to get 100% bright on all the time, it will come on when the car start and will turn off when the car shut off, so you must cut the Green wire, and that wire from the Leds dust cover on your headlighs, you need the add a fuse line like the pics in the link below, ( look at the second pics that the one you need to get and two ATM 10a fuses) the IGN2 is in the pics that fuse box in the engine bay, you won't miss it, good luck

Perfect, I think I understand now. I will try to put together a detailed DIY for other n00bs like myself when I do this.

By the way, since I have never uploaded a shot of my car before, here it is with the new headlights.

I know one of the proper way is to get the ECU which is for the HID/LED and it will work properly. Not sure about the write up thou but Jeff Lange is familiar with that.

Hmmm it will work properly meaning no more AFS, or it will turn on in the day the way it came wired from Sewell? If i dont have to mess with the wiring id go that route. Maybe Jeff can chime in.

I don't know about you guys but i like turning on the park light and having the LED strip as well as my tails lighting up....looks better IMO, besides when you turn off the car it's shutting off also so you wont have to worry about it being left on!!
