you will want to run a relay setup. you will probably want to hook the driving lamps up to an independent switch or else have them only turn on when your high beams do. if you don't you will be blinding people and will get pulled over.

You have to make a wiring harness with a good relay and fuses. Use of 14awg wires is recommended.

What is this LED driving light anyway? Even if you use the brightest LED's available today on the market, you still need about 10-15 of them per side to achieve the brightenss of a regular halogen bulb used for driving lights. They need to be wired through series of proper resistors and provided with good cooling set-up. At the cost of 10-15 USD each, this would be beyond the scope and wallet of a regular enthusiast. Sound like a gimmick, sorry. Care to give the specs?
