What color wire can we hook the loose LED wires up to so they come on when the headlights come on.

Get the 194 Inverted LED bulbs.
As for the wire color it varies and I would have to look back at it but you can just test by grounding the one loose wire(black) and hooking the red one into random plugs with and without the lights and ignition on. I could come up with a better answer tomorrow as I need to get to bed now. I can't remember if the color changed from button pod to button pod (4x4 switch, wiper switch, etc.)

Oh gotcha. Where'd you get them from. I got mine on ebay from opto_gift_center. They were pretty good at getting them, otherwise I would try V-Led's.

It depends on where yours were made (the quality/etc.). The other thing is it depends on how you take the picture (the amount of shutter delay or just the way the camera takes pics at night).
