So I'm installing some LED daytime running lights and I got the protectors, now on the website that I got them from states to tap into the ground wire. Does that sound right or is it suppose to be tapped into the power wire?

DRL's should not require a resistor as they are on all the time and not flashing like a signal light.
If you are talking about the "led light protector" sold here,
http://www.ledlight.com/led-light-protector.aspx
Then yes it attaches from the positive lead going to your led (your DRL in this case) at one end, and to ground/chassis at the other end.
It contains a pair of zener diodes back to back to attempt to send higher voltage spikes to ground.
If you are really concerned about the longevity of the leds however, a better solution would be a proper voltage regulator to be sure and provide a constant 12V.
