Default Custom Auto Works Raptor Style LED wired to low beams?

Has anyone wired their raptor style 4 led bar to their headlights instead of the parking lights? II have my DRL's set to my headlights and would prefer to not have to turn on my parking lights to get the led bar to light up during the day. It would be nice if the led bar came on with my DRL's when the lights are set to auto. Couldn't I just clip one wire in the existing inline connector harness and run it to the headlight plug?

Thanks!

How much power does the light bar require? You could use a 4-pin Relay. You could probably just wire the lights directly to the low beam positive wire if the LED light power draw is low but a relay is a better way to go with it.

Pin 30 - Positive from battery fused within 18 inches.
Pin 85 - Ground
Pin 86 - connect to whichever wire u want to turn on your bar (low beam positive wire, parking lights positive wire, whichever)
Pin 87 - Positive power going to bar.

When the low beam gets power, it will power on the relay and send battery power to the LED bar.
