Default Installed smoked clearance lights yesterday

I installed the recon smoked clearance lights yesterday and overall I like them. I was disapointed that $80 custom fit lights aren't plug and play. They have to be wired into the stock wiring harness (the bulb sockets are different sizes when connecting to the light itself) which isn't that hard, but it was still unexpected. I also removed the reflectors from the headlights today to finish my anti-amber weekend. The reflector removal was $2 and 2 hours of labor, well worth it in my book. Take a look at my pics and decide if custom clearance lights are worth $80.

I just installed aftermarket clearance lights on my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4 door 1 ton, which was tons of fun (sarcasm). I am needing help here with the power.
I have everything wired up properly and just finished putting my cieling back in and have the ground wire grounded properly and have the power wire running down the sides behind the "oh Crap Handles" and out under the dash for easy access. I want to wire this to the parking lights wire but do not know which wire is for that and do not want to run through my firewall to the lights and go that far to do it. I would like to stay within the vehicle cab. Please help me with my dilema.
Thanks, Jeremy
