Installing DLRs

Hi guys

I want to install daylight running lights on a 12 focus. Can anyone suggest a way to install them via a fuse or relay. I saw DLR relays on a couple of websites but I'm not sure how good they would be.

Thanks in advance

    They come with three connections

    1: Main 12v ignition on feed to make them bright

    2: Must be connected to side light circuit so they go dim when you turn your lights on

    3: Earth

    Don't they have to dim when you put the sides on and stay on after you lock the door? Will wiring into the sides cause a problem with the lights eg bulb warning. I'm not big on wires but the missus decided she would like DLRs
