Remove the front bumper to gain access to the headlamps, unbolt the lamps, trace the wires back to the HID transformers. Get a multi-meter to check which is live on the CORRECT side of the HID box & tap into the wire.

A little vague i know, but you get the idea

In the underdash fusebox, at least in an AP1, there are three accessory
power connections. One of them, labeled "E" in the following diagram,
is powered only when the (parking) lights are on.

so does that mean when the lights are fully on (as in past parking lights)
that they will be off? or on?
