For the hyper flash, I installed a LED flasher relay that does under your steering wheel. Made it much easier than wiring in resistors

On the light fixture yes I did was there are 3 small screws on the back were the conector is you can screw tight or loos the screws an them tight the small screws.. if you ever need to help you on the moisture help..

How do you adjust the high beams

Third solution for the hyperflash: they make replacement relays for LED bulbs. Much easier than in-line resistor and no heat on a resistor that you might have to worry about

Parking lights are also referred to as marker lights, they are not lights that go on while your vehicle is in park position. You definitely want to tap the parking/marking lights. Like OP said, DRL will only come on in daylight.

Where you get the splice from that’s the only thing I need

I just ordered these lights but the turn signal assembly is different from yours even though I clicked your link. Yours has a crystal design over the far right bulb. The ones in the link must be a newer generation or something because they are completely clear. I like yours a lot more but I don't think I have any other choice from Akkon unless I go with the clear with amber. That sucks but either way it'll look better than what I have now.

Instead of resistors, put an led compatible flasher relay.

Those spice are junk folks. Corrosion will work into the harness.
