hook a wire up to a source that's always powered and a source that's powered only at key on hook it to a relay with appropriate fuse then wire your lights to the relay output
Just noticed the two sources are reversed

Lol. Yea pretty much any additional light to your vehicle is for "off-road" use only, with the exception of like side amber markers.
