LED Headlight Build With LED Pod Lights HELP

Im in the middle of a headlight build on my 2008 ford f-350 and im wanting to install 2 LED pod lights in each of the bottom headlight spots. My question is that can the factory wiring be used to power the lights? Im wanting to used thr factory wiring so i have the function of low and high beam, low beam being 1 light on and high beam being 2 lights on. i have already installed a set of these lights for the fog light and im using the factory wiring to power them. Any help would be great!

Without looking at the oem & aftermarket unit specs, I cannot say for sure but, in general, IMHO, no.........

What I would recommend is using a relay unit off of the oem harness to activate.

Ok,....

1. Find a separate, fused power source to the relay
2. There will be 1 switched power output that will go to your aftermarket lights
3. There will be 1 wire at the relay that is used as a trigger signal...this should be connected to what ever it is that is turning on with everything else

Note......solder all connections and use shrink wrap!!!!!!!!!! this is not a prefer, but have requirement.
