Default How Do i Wire my headlights/parking to be on when the car is on?

I am sick of *****&g with my headlight switch, so i would just like to know how i could wire them to be on when the ignition is turned on. I know it can be done, i heard of this procedure on a 4k before. Any suggestions, i am sick of driving at night and all my lights turn off for no apparent reason.

I bought a DIY daytime running light kit off ebay for like 5 bucks. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks fairly simple. Maybe there are other ways as well.

Default Easy...

You'll need a test light a couple of relays and a few other basic supplies, and a little electronic knowledge.

You'll need to find just about any wire that is hot when you turn the ignition on. Tap into that wire and use it to trip the relay which will turn on your headlights...
