Or.. Hook the ring to your parking light (I used the driverside inner amber light) and that way they are on anytime the headlights are on and you can control the driving lights with the switch.

Well, if I tied into the power wire of my radio to the power wire that goes to the switch, wouldn't that make the switch "turn off" after the delay or door opening? In other words, I'd still be able to control whether I want the rings or the main lights with that one swtich, but power to the switch would cut off with the radio, which in turn would cut off power to whatever the switch was turned to (rings or main lights).

Ok..hold up. Do not hook the whole harness to your radio. That is too much power draw.
We thought you were talking only the outer rings.
I cut the black wires and spliced to the black of my existing fog light wiring at the fog light. White when to the other wire at the fog light connector (aka power) and the yellow is the ring around the light. I put that yellow to my parking lights.
If you are going to use the whole system then you'd need to use an additional relay and power source.
The relay would allow the power from your source to switch on and off with retained power from the radio.

use the existing wiring that you already have for your fog lights and use that for your driving lights
find a 12v constant or switched power and install the rings to that...add a switch and done OR
attach the rings to the parking lights
