you have to wire the angel eyes and the "eyebrows" to the interior lights of the car!



And no problem when you turn your headlamps on while driving ?

just tap the angel eyes wire into the interior lighting and will fade/dime at the same time with your pathway light and interior light.

This is a neat mod and should be easy enough to do.

If anyone is interested in this then you can check my footwell light retrofit for ideas and pins as to where to get the light feed from, especially if you dont have the footwell lights yourself. However I would be careful with this mod as the LCM is not expecting the load of the Angel eyes to be run off it in this mode. The eyebrows may be ok because they are LEDs and so the current drain will not be a lot. But I dont know what the wattage of the angel eye bulbs are as compared to the interior lights. If you are doing this I would put a diode in between the LCM and the headlights too because you dont want the voltage reaching the LCM when you are normally using the headlights.
