It took me about 3 hrs only because I spent half an hour trying unsuccessfully to remove the darn grill. Those stupid tabs are a pain. I later decided to remove the whole bumper which was easier. Also, I chose to splice and solder which took some time. I would've just usedsplice/crimp connectorsbut I didn't have any. You'll save a lot of timewith them. I'll do a write up so people who want to install these can cut down the install time. I think it should only take 1-1/2 hr to complete if you know how.

You can barely see the halos with the fogs on in those pics. Maybe they'll be more visible at night. I'll take more pics later. I wouldn't want to run with the fogs on anyway unless I needed more light. Looks more like a bimmer that way. They run with their headlights on and inner halos. More like this...



A plus side of using halos and not your fogs is not getting flashed by stupid people who think you have your brights on.

Okay, so when your driving at night, with your lights on (not fogs) your halo lights will be on along with your lights right? Also, does the kit come with instalation instructions?

The fogs use the same Sylvania bulbs as stock.

Here's another pic at night. It's the best I could do with my camera. I can actually see the halos even with the fogs on but the camera doesn't seem to catch it. Maybe because of the fog lightsglare.

Yes, the halos are on with the headlights since it's wired into the running/parking lamps. The instructions suck and only tell you to connect two wires into the parking lamps. The wires weren't the same color as in the instructions. Instructions showed a green and a black wire but the halos came with two black wires. DOH! It seems polarity didn't matter in this case since it still works if I switch the wires around.
