Default Halo fog light install tutorial?

Hey guys, I've got a K2 Motors Halo fog lamp kit for my 4.0 but am a noob when it comes to wiring, I've done some searching and can't find a decent tutorial on how to install them. Does anybody have some advice? or a decent tutorial video?

I would be interested in the same thing. A friend of mine just did this on his '07 and loves it but I think he had a mechanic friend help him.

Seriously OP, did you not get some written directions?

Yeah, it didn't come with directions! I'll post up some pics later on and show you guys what I have, I have a good general idea of what to do with most of it, I just would like a tutorial before slicing wires up!

So, that's the first set of wires. Everything's numbered for ease of explanation.



Second set.



and this last, thing. Thanks in advance to anybody that helps! I'll throw some pics up to show off the finished product. I may even take a video and make a video installation guide for those who are electronic noobs like myself.

Looks like e Very cool set-up. Says "direct replacement" so you should be able to just unscrew the old ones and install the new ones in their place. Don't know how the halos would work though - probably tie-in to the daytime running lights.

Therein lies the rub; I watched the installation video on their website and they explain how to tie in to the "daytime running lites" but my '08 does not have them. Seems like the only way to make the halos work is to find a lead that is 'hot' only when the ignition is 'on' and tap into that for just the halo function. I guess the regular lites use those provided plugs to go into the OEM harness?
