Halo Light Installation- Extra Wiring Needed?

I was fortunate enough to stumble across a set of Dual Halo projector lights for my 2000 Passat GLX.

http://www.speed-element.com/servlet/Detail?no=213

I did a dry run tonight and hooked them up to find that they do in fact work, but I was puzzled as to why the halo's were not lighting up. After going online, I found that extra wiring would be needed to make the halos and the LED corner light work. Has anybody done this before? If so, can you give me/provide me a walk through?

From what I know about this sort of thing, I would just get one of those blue plastic wire clamps for the ground and power wires, but I just would like to hear some opinions.

What I would like to do is instead of having the normal low beams as my DRL, I would like to set it up so that both Halo rings and/or the LED corner light act as the DRL.

Sorry for the long read, but if you can help, I would really appreciate it.

How did you do it? Did you just use one of those little blue plastic wire crimp things?
