Does he want them on with the running lights? The headlights? or just to its own switch? There are a number of ways to wire them.

I wired them to the fogs too, worked great for me. I soldered them though and didn't use some cheap connector.

My g/f has a '98 SS
Do '98s have DRLs?
The body shop guys messed them up I think when they put them in.
How can I wire them up to the DRLs?

you can go to the auto parts store and buy wire connectors like this



there is no cutting of the wire, just put the wire from the halos on one side and the wire from your DTR lights in the other and snap it down, and if they didnt come on try another wire, yeah the instructions suck they came with, thats how i had to do it
