well if you want to do that you are going to drain the battery because are going to be on but thas is how can you do it

30 goes to the positive side of the lights

87 and 86 to 12v fused

85 goes to ignition

ground the other side of the lights

just remember the lights are going to be on until you turn on the car again

how own your mind, control your life.
