How do you want them to come on? If you don't want to run wires through your firewall, which is very easy, then get a relay and tap into your low beams.
Here's your wires.
1 - Wire coming off the low beams to activate the relay. Just use a blue 2 wire crimp for this.
2 - Ground wire from relay to wherever. Just find a sheet metal screw near by.
3 - Power wire from battery to relay. This one is the actual power supply. Use a 12 or 10 gauge wire depending on the wattage that you are gonna run in the lights.
4 - Power wire to the lights. 12 or 10 gauge again.
5 - Ground wire coming off the lights. Hook it in anywhere convienient.
