if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the link below there is J-spec FTPs. They have a bulb built into them so you dont have to use your headlights.

Basic electronics. The relay is used as a switch to turn on the lights. The wire spliced into the run wire toggles the switch. The power going though the relay should come from the fuse box. To find out what wire it is, check the FSM. I don't have the wiring diagram memorized (Yet).

I would take the signal off of the IG2 signal, to correct my last post. It's on only when the key is at the ON position. NOT ACC or Start. The wire color is B/R (That's Black w/Red stripe) when running between the ignition switch and the fuse box. It splits out at the fuse box to four wires. Light green/Yellow, Blue, Yellow, and Green/Orange.
If you have a friend who is electronically inclined, I HIGHLY recommend that you have them help you. You con download the entire FSM from iluvmyrx7.com

Yeah, I half figured it out, after I looked at the FSM over and over and over again. I've got it switched as of now. I plan on purchasing a relay and taking care of all that stuff later. I've got so little experience with relays, but yeah, I've got an uncle that's an electronic technician, and a gearhead, and he'll help me.
Thanks for the input on which wires to use.
