lol, not without some electronics training. 
if you know anyone that is into electronics, tell them you need to install a set of diodes to isolate one light when the other is on.
this will essentially require two diodes pointing a certain way. one from the low beam to the halo and one from the DRL to the halo. The diodes will allow voltage to flow to the halo when a light is turned on but prevent it from flowing to the light if the other one is on.
see what I mean? a radio shack guy that is worth anything could show you. not the typical kid in a summer job, find the old guy that likes to play with HAM radios and stuff.

I work with Electrical Engineers and figured, maybe I should just go ask them! haha! After a more detailed explanation that I probably needed, we all agreed that I should just pick to connect the Halos to either the Low Beam or the DRLs.
So...to make a long story short. I am going to connect the Red Wire for the Halos to the Low Beam (yellow wire) and the Blue Wire for the LEDs to the Blinkers (light red/pink wire).
I'll have some pictures up tonight or early tomorrow!

EE's will have your truck in little pieces all over the driveway in an effort to change a bulb
if it's not broiling when I get home I may do the same.

Im sold.........looks great man. How is the "cut off" line at night on the road?????
yeah, I LOVE the look!! I definitely recommend them!
Truth be told there are several Types out there for the 07+ h0es. The one I chose I only found on eBay and looks REALLY similar to the OEM Headlights. The others look a lot different.
Just keep your eye out when you're looking to buy.
I don't really know what the cut off is...but the beam goes QUITE a bit further than the OEM.

Here is a picture of what I mean regarding cut off.....the stock headlights are all over the place. I was wondering if these cause a nice cut off line....like BMW and Acuras.

looks great I got mine wired up last night but blew a turn signal bulb in the process. I'll replace it and take some picks.

I dont have one with them lit up but thats what they look like. and they are bright too.
My halos are not as bright as I thought they would be though.

there are 3 led's on the side you really cant see in the pic. I felt they were obviously for blinking lights. you could wire them any way you want but I like them blinking.
In actuality I did end wire the halos to the low beams. I didnt realize before that the DRL and lows were seperate lights.
I didnt use HIDs on mine because they are bright enough and HIDs are too expensive to get just for the color IMO.
the OP may have wired his diff. he may chime in with what he set up.

You've never had HIDS then.....they are a world of difference in brightness.

actully the proper way to wire them is in to your parking lights, all extra lights, since they put out less than 5 lumins, but in reality you can wire them where ever you want, I think its makes the most sense to wire them in to the parking lights, but the blinkers can be just as cool too.
