if I go through with this, I'll probably tie them into the parking lamps, with a toggle switch as well...
I like the idea of being able to turn them on with the high or low beams...
hell I might rewire the factory fog lights at the same time so they'll run with the high beams too, lol

I have no worries about wiring; I'm a wire-layout freak 
should have seen the relay setup I constructed for the headlights, and 2 sets of fog/running lights on my Toyota

I think I got all of this but I'm not 100% sure of the brown lines and the diode. Can you please explain a little bit more on that? Thanks.

You can ask your dealer for a factory licence plate mount BUT it is made of plastic and is easily removed with some pulling. or you can get a 1 inch flat metal (aluminum or steel) to fit across the 'hole' just behind the opening is steel bracketry to mount to. That is where I put mine.

It keeps the low beam signal from lighting up the high beams. Think of the diode like a one way valve, only letting power flow in one direction.

^ correct
the main objective of that wiring schematic was to make the low beams also stay on when I turned the high beams on
Low Beams - single light (low beams only)
High Beams - two lights (high beams AND low beams at the same time)
makes an unbelievable difference!
with the low beams, high beams, and fog lights on, that thing threw CRAZY amounts of light
that diagram was actually altered upon installation; the diode went right at the original factory headlight plugin, between the low and high beam outputs
