Just installed new headlights that have LED Angel Eyes in them.  Im still a rookie, but Im slowly learning.  I was curious, in order to wire the Angel Eyes do I need anything in the line like an inverter or anything? I plan on wiring them to the corners so they come on with the first switch.  I already know which wires to wire too, but just curious can I just wire directly into them? It'd be a big help. Thank You.

I just want to make sure I can't hurt the LED by just plugging directly into the corner lights.  I also need to know because I have some LED Mirrors to install as well.........

Usually prewired LED applications would just need to be hooked up to your existing wiring, so ground the ground and tap into the parking light line for the positive.

unless the LED's are specifically designed for 12 volts they will require a resistor inline between one of the connections. I converted the "angel eye" from the push in 174 type to a blue LED and used a 262 ohm 1/4 watt cerramic resistor and have had no problems. Over 1 year since the change over.
If at first you dont succeed, try reading the directions

My friend's taillights with the LED rings are prewired with a resistor already inline so i would guess you should be able to just hook the + to the corner light and the - to ground

the led angel eye rings have resitors inside the head light just solder the connection to your runing lights...i took my angel eyes apart last week and changed the ring color to green...i had to put resitors in..

Thank you very much everyone for the advice.  I just got back in town so I'll probably just try and wire the (+) and (-) into the (+) and (-) of the corner lamps and hope it works since im pretty sure they are LED angel eyes and not CCFL ones.  Thank you for the help. Hope this goes over well.

theres just one last thing is your blinkers may have 3 wires going to them. ones for the blinker and ones for the the day time runing lights...it's pretty easy to determine which is which with a volt meter...
