Hook them up to a switch is my best advice. One wire from the LEDs and one from a fuse in your fuse box (headlights or radio should work).

Fuses are two-sided. The side you are checking is the constant power side. Try hooking them up into the other side of the fuse. I also suggest a different method of wiring though. I hooked them up on my friend's civic and this is how i did it:

1. Placed washer heads on hood
2. Spliced right washer wires with left washer wires
3. Ran the pos and neg wires in through the firewall
4. Spliced positive into headlight wire under dash (should be yellow i believe)
5. Make a simple negative connection to any metal (theres a panel under the dash that works fine)

You could also splice the wires into the actual headlight power wires. I did that for my halos on my headlights. I spliced them in to the turn signals though... Good luck!

find the wire to your parking lights and splice and solder there.
so whenever you turn your parking lights on the squirter lights come on as well
