So the 2000 LS's headlights are really rough. Picked up a serviceable set of headlights (thanks NickT88LSC) and took dNyceLS's advice on a cheap set of $70 LED angels (thanks man). Gonna do some bright headlights too.

After using 3M's headlight restore kit (awesome) I'm done drilling holes and popping connectors off the angel ring's wiring connectors to thread the wires through the lights.

Problem is that this kit is for BMW's and has some extra wiring.

The harness includes the following:

4 angel ring connectors (not shown in photo)
relay
fused power wire
ground wire
interior light trigger wire (BMW remote fade function for angels with interior light I guess)
12V power source trigger wire

The seller says that if Lincolns have a fade on/off interior light like this, it might work in an LS too, but I dunno if I want to go to all this trouble as angels with parking light knob will suit me fine.

I don't have much wiring experience. Based on the included photo, would you guys:

Splice into the parking lamps by running through the entire harness/relay, not connecting the harness' power wire, etc.? (would that even work?)

Connect the correct way, run 12V trigger wire to switchable 12V (fuse box, fuse center underhood, or maybe parking lights?) and not use remote trigger wire?

Or would you just snip and reconnect the positive/negative angel wires and run to the parking lights, and call it good?

Thanks...

Im gonna go and take a pic of mine real quick. Mine arent hooked up to fade on and off, just on a seperate switch
 
My blue wire is tied into the red wire (power). The ground i used is under the bolt for the fuse box (had to sand off the paint). The yellow didnt get used

Thanks for the pic dNyce, just to verify:


You tied the blue wire into the harness red power wire, then wired to power?
Is that power coming from the underhood fuse box?
Your separate switch: did you wire it into a fusebox then into this harness, or did you direct wire from this angel harness to your separate switch?

Much appreciated.

Is that power coming from the underhood fuse box?no. mine comes from the switch, which is getting power from the battery.
Your separate switch: did you wire it into a fusebox then into this harness, or did you direct wire from this angel harness to your separate switch?its direct from the battery with an inline fuse.
