Ok here it is..
So I pulled out the connector for the headlight switch theres 2 rows of wires.
Top row:
Brown, black, light blue w/ red stripe, white w/ black stripe, green w/ black stripe.
Bottom row:
Purple w/ orange stripe, blue w/ orange stripe, red w/ yellow stripe, white w/ tan stripe, white w/ red stripe, brown.
Now, which one can I splice into in order for my lights to come on with the running lights, and then for the regular lights too? Any ideas guys? I'm lost when it comes to wires! I did get an inline fuse already so all I have to do is find out which wire and I can hook them up!
Anyone work at Ford and can find out for me? It is MUCH appreciated!
(Ford wanted me to bring it in for them to look at it, bogus!)

Okay man, Here is how I would do it...
Find the PARKING LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL plug. Identify the wire that is HOT only when the parking lights are on. Now, because the parking lights stay on when the headlamps are on you will want the parking lamp wire. Do NOT run the new lights (assuming you have additional fog, running, or other halogen type) from this harness!! you will burn it up!!!
Use a relay to power the new lights. I will explain in full detail how to do this if I am correct and you are talking about wiring up a new set of lamps?

Well I just found out that the brown wire on the back of the light switch on the dash is the positive parking lamp wire. I have an inline fuse and I was going to just splice right into that wire, they are clearance lights ontop of my roof, which are also LED. I think splicing right into that wire is how I'm going to do it. Any suggestions?

If they are LED they don't draw much current at all and won't make any difference, but if you are connecting a regular bulb then it will fry the wiring. So, yeah just tap into it and there ya go. Post some pics when you can!
