Default HOW TO: Hook Up Projector Halos and LED's

Just got done installing them, and let me just say, what a pain in the ***. I still need to hook up the halo's and the LED's, even though the LED's aren't that great. I got the left LED to light up by wiring it to the parking light, but the halo wouldn't turn on on the same power source. Any future suggestions if I ever get around to removing my bumper and fenderwell again?

They look badass, but I'd like to have the halos work atleast. Can't wait to go driving with them.



Edit: Need info on hooking up the halos and LED's, anyone that can help PLEASE do, I would really like to get them hooked to my parking lights so they come on when I lock my car and when I put on the turn signal. Not to mention I'd like this stickied. Thanks in advance guys.

Hah, just got a new camera, and by the time I finished putting everything back together, it was past dark outside. So I'll definitely post some first thing in the morning, here is a before pic however.

I bought some pre-painted urethane splitters to compliment them, but I think I'll hold off on those until I get the halo's working right, so I don't have to reapply adhesive to the front bumper.

Just took this one. But yeah, anyone that knows a thing or two about wiring, I would really appreciate it if you could kind of tell me where to put what, I would like to hook the halos and possibly the LED's up to the parking lights. Thanks in advance guys.

Those just look odd in my opinion. Do they significantly improve lighting?

I was wondering the same thing... They look like they might give off less light than stock...I would hate to pay $200+ for less vision at night and cool blue circles around my lights...if they give off the same amount if not more I might have to place my order because I do like the way they look!

nice job!

Used them tonight on the way home, I knew the left side one was a little off balance, but I'll fix that as soon as I get the halos working and whatnot. They light up the road excellently, and look badass at the same time. Still, anyone got any tips for the halos and leds?
