The best bet to wire it,is to tap into the foot light inside the passenger area. That way you don't need to use any resistors which get extremely hot and cold melt what is around it? I recently had to do it to mine because the resistors I were using kind of melted the del housing. Btw the auto on/off relay that one of the members suggested do not work. I tried 2 sets thinking the 1st set was bad.But it still did not work on the 2nd set.

The drl light turns on automatically once the headlights are on. Or I can turn it on manually by switching the light switch on? Another method I had in mind was to tap into the cig acc outlet. But the light will just be on,and I won't be able to switch it off manually. Another reason why I tap into the footwell light,is that when I unlock the car,the drl light will turn on and act as a pathway lighting?

the aftermarket BMW angel eye kit comes with harness with a relay that is attached to the footwell light and an ignition wire. I think you can put together a similar harness without much issue. When you unlock the car, the LEDs fade in and stay on when you have the car on. They then fade out when you lock the car.

As long as the wrap is installed correctly,you should not have any lifting or problems. I don't have any problems so far. If you ever need to remove it. I suggest to use a steamer. That way you get most of the sticky residue off. It won't damage your paint.
