Did you wire the halos into the front parking light that also is front turn signal?
I would wire power for halos to the ignition in RUN position, as the purpose is to be seen when driving.
Take it out of the lighting circuits.
My brother in law picked up a late model Denali Suburban. " Hey the DRLs aren't working,help" . Ok, fuses, broken wires, bulbs. Did you look in the owners manual? No, why. It tells you how things work. " The DRLs come on when the vehicle is in DRIVE.
Going to run these a minute and see if it bothers me having to always turn headlight switch. I like the Halo + LED Yellow together anyway. Plus I can have the truck completely dark. But I’ll prolly go that route once I leave the headlights on by accident the first time

I appreciate everyone responses. I figured as annoying as this was I would post some info for the next electrical-idiot that attempts this quest.

Things I needed:
•Blue Wire Splice Clamps (Auto-Parts Store),
•Electrical Tape
•EP29 LED Flasher Relay (Amazon or Auto-Parts Store)

Grill Insert Parts:
•Replacement Tabs that your bottom lights screw into (Amazon) mine were missing and the previous owner just had screws going into plastic (JANKY)
#8 Sheet metal Screws (Home Depot) - Hold the Bottom lights
•Black and Red Plastic Paint (Home Depot)

Polarity Knowlege - see previous post

One thing I’ll note, in order to get all lights working correctly, I had the disconnect the “outside” running light’s connection and just “cap”, I wrapped in tape and tucked away. If these were hooked up, they didn’t blink right. The alignment is off yes, but I’ll cut some small rubber pieces and gap them right. Also I plan on buying Black Screws for the lights, I dipped the heads in black paint, and I didn’t like the turnout. You will also need to paint the corner light small white fixture, once you plug it in, you can see the white from out side. I repainted the bow tie red (previous owner used nail polish) I plan on replacing with factory gold
