Wiring Help for Clearance Light Install

I ran into a small problem installing the Recon LED clearance lights and need some help with the wiring. I spliced the clearance lights into the violet/white wire coming out of the headlight switch and everything works perfect EXCEPT when I put the headlight switch in "Auto" mode. When in auto, the clearance lights always stay on and will not turn off. If the switch is not on "Auto" they work fine (come on with the parking lights and go off when the switch is off).

Any thoughts on how to make this work with the Auto headlights? Is there a different wire I need to splice into?

Thanks for the help!

Your the second person ever that I've heard that's done this. Maybe do a search to see if you can find another thread on it.

Thanks! I took another look at that wiring diagram and figured out that I should have spliced into pin 1 instead. Now they are working perfectly.
