Since the angel eyes are low-draw LEDs, I think it would be okay to just tap into the parking-light wire somewhere just behind the headlamp unit. Just be sure that

1) you're tapping into the parking-light circuit, not the turn-signal circuit (I forget the color coding at this moment, but if one wire is brown, tap that one), and

2) you securely solder and tape or heat-shrink your connection to keep it weatherproof
