They posted in one of these threads. I don't recall if it was on CL or another forum but I remember reading about said person doing so. Obviously there was wire/crimping and relocation work to get it done. Probably not worth the hassle when all said and done unless you got the time.

That was me, it's rather easy. Just use the wire that they run to the fusebox and tap it to your parking lights instead. You'll need to find your parking light wire in your factory headlight wire harness with a multimeter, use a tap connector so you don't have to cut into your factory wiring. Wire each side separately. LED strips will now illuminate with parking lights and stay on with headlights. No flickering and no techstream needed.

Thank you! I messaged you with some follow up questions.

Messaged you back.

Another install tip that might help with fitment is that the threaded side clip on the outside of the headlight is rather flimsy (thin gauge). Doesn't hold the side bolt very well because of this. I used heavier gauge clips which helped hold the headlights in place better, thus better gap fitment in the corners. The clips I'm referring to are similar to these: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b.../45819/4180057
Actual size and threads are different and are silver on the Vland lights.

Just installed these on my 08 ISF, fitment is tragic, absolute garbage compared to my fitment on my 08 IS350. She looks good from far away at least lol.

Fit on my 09 is about 8/10. When I got the set the pass side was DOA. Notorious Chinese inconsistent quality.
