So I'm installing my Pacer marker lights and want them to come on with the running lights. Through the other install guides previously posted...Thanks Blackbear and SculptorMJM...I know the grey wire at the headlight switch would be the wire to tie into if I want the markers to come on with the headlights...which color wire would I tie into to make them come on with the running lights. I want the markers to flash when I arm/disarm the alarm. Thanks!

Run a wire from one of the taillights, hide it under the length of the roof rail, then splice it into the corner light on that side. That will ensure that when you use your keyless entry, the marker lights will also flash.

I saw your post on how you did that and its a good idea but my roof rail is not accessible due to my roof rack. I know that one of the wires going to the headlight switch is hot from the running lights..I already have the marker lights wired up to that point. Just hoping someone had an answer so I won't have to meter it out, tight down in there! Anybody with a wiring diagram?

Look for a Brown wire in the kick panel. It should be bunched with the wires that run to the back +12V. If you have the wire at the Passenger side, you can find it there too (used it the other day). If you are at the switch, it should be brown / white - , but it probably wont give you the flash from the RAP on unlock.

After metering the wires at the switch, I coudn't find one that gave me 12v when only the running lights were turned on. I scrapped that idea and ran a wire to the front turn light...PIA getting the plastic fender shroud off! But the job is done and I am waiting for the spray tint to smoke the lenses. I'll post pics when its finished. Thanks everyone.
