I ran the trigger wire to my rear (tail light) parking light, so that the rings turn on with the parking lights. I think it was the purple wire... I'll take a pic if you would like to see. I also ran the wire to the light under the driver side kick panel so that the rings turn on with the lock/unlock on my remote.

I previously had amber reflectors and this is a HUGE difference, to me. Even the light output looks better. I converted my fogs to HIDs, but the low beams are so bright that I don't think that I would ever use the fogs.

I'm thinking of the same wiring set-up as yours.
But, to be sure, did you use 2 seperates relays?
If not, if I'm correct, e.g. the light under the driver side kick panel will also be illuminated when your (trigger) tail light is powered?

Cheers
