Default Hot head light wire?

Looking to hook up some amber lights on the front grill like the raptor has.
What color wire do I tap into to get hot, so when I turn on the headlights, I get power to,the lights I am looking to power?

These are the lights I am looking to hook up. Red wire to the positive, black to the ground-RIGHT?
But what wire from the headlight?
Thanks

Check the raptor grille lights threads. It's been answered a million times.

I used the corner marker light wires.

Default From threads I have read ....

I have installed my 3 amber LED's across the front grill but haven't had time to finish hooking them up yet ... but from what I have read on other threads at least for the ( 09-14 ) it's the ORANGE /YELLOW ... Either catch it in the passenger side kick panel or just tap directly into the head lamp which is how the Stage 3 Motorsports install vid of their raptor grill light set does it .... Probably easier to do but I'm going into the kick panel myself ... I don't want to cut into the headlight harness
Hey if your going to buy some lights check these out .... better deal and less $ http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Amber-3W-Ultra-thin-18mm-Car-LED-Eagle-Eye-Tail-Light-Rear-Lamp-DRL-Light-/151280316984?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item2339027238

A multimeter is a very useful tool. Also, since you're talking about amber/accent lighting I think it'd be a better idea to tap into the running or corner light circuit instead of the headlight circuit.
