I know I shouldn't have cheaped out on this, but I bought these DRL's but there were no instructions on which wire to splice into each harness.

This DRL is different than the oneavailable videos as it has a red and black wire on the "input end" which I was able to put on a 12V battery and got the DRL's to turn on. So I assume this is power and ground. Do I splice into the power and ground for the low beam?

2 yellows on the output end which I assume are for the turn signals and 1 white wire which I have no idea where to splice that into. I think this might be the parking sensor wire?

Any help on this would be great

I wish you luck. Way too much china junk on amazon. I think over the last 2 years we may have a total of a dozen orders or less. Mostly small stuff and stuff that can't be found anywhere else. Otherwise, ebay and other stores.

I'd be weary of connecting anything from amazon to the car's electrical system.
 
$173 is wayyy to much for these - I think mine were $63 (check ebay)
 
The whole unit draws ~0.6 A when both white lights are on. I was weary about loading up only one of the headlights like that. I went for a totally different approach. If you want these to come on with the daylight sensor triggering you need to find that wire. I strongly recommend getting the headlight wiring harness from KDM warehouse. It is the cleanest and most reliable way to go. I can't post links but I found it just now with that query. "kdm warehouse kia stinger wiring harness"

The white wire is the parking mode input which dims the white lights. You don't have to use it. In my application I common grounded both headlights to ensure that the turn signal inputs would work and they do. But again, I've done something very different with these. (powering them from a fuse tap and enabling them through another control circuit that is activated by the DRL input/daylight sensor to a relay)
