Talking Led strip installation help

I am currently planning on installing some led strip close to my front headlights. I have the bi-xenons andthe cornering projectors. I would like to see if anyone can give me some advice on where i should tap the wire into. (i would want the led on at all times after engine start and turned off when the engines off.) Many thanks!

I would tie them into the parking lights. This way they would turn on with the daytime running lights. Be careful, led's can sometimes throw an error code that a light is out. You may have to put in a resistor to eliminate it.

I couldn't tell you how to do it, I just know I see a lot of people in the MINI community trying this and resistors are a must for BMW and MINI. It's a computer and a voltage thing.
