    How to wire 2004 e85 halos

    I just got these in the mail:
    http://spyderauto.com/product.php?id...-BMWZ403-HL-BK

    My Z4 is a 2004 e85 2.5i with halogens and no fog lights.

    Wondering if anybody has suggestions on how and where to wire the halos safely? They draw very little being LEDs (looks like 0.08A per headlight, or site could mean 0.16A per headlight - not sure) @ 12V. I don't want to solder my halo leads to the turn signal because I don't want them to flash when I use the signal. Ideally, I'd like them to be on when the headlight selector switch is one over to the right from the off position, in the daytime running light position. I'd also be fine with them being on anytime the car is on if that's not possible.

    I read that some people with later e85 Z4 models are able to connect this to a separate parking light, but I don't have that - I believe I only have high beam, low beam projector, and a single orange bulb for turn signal and day time running (one click over to the right from off).

    Current ideas are: fuse box, running a wire from the non-brake light tail light, and also the hot side of the washer pump motor.
