Default Need halo wiring help....

I just wired up one of my halos. I ran the red wire to the purple fog light wire, and ran the white wire to the radiator support for a ground. Didn't work....so I changed the ground to the other fog light wire....still don't work? I used those little wire blocks that you put the wires in and close them up and they crimp down. Was that the problem? Do I need to do something instead? I am kinda lost as to what I did wrong, wiring seems good. Any ideas? How exactly did you all wire them up? Thanks!

Nope, nothing......maybe I just need to check the connections.

Sometimes those connectors don't cut all the way down to the copper. Try pulling a little insulation back, then connecting the blocks.

What's not working? The headlights or the Blue halo's themsleves? You CANNOT see the halos during the day. make sure you connections are good and twisted straight.

The halos, the headlights work fine.

did u also make sure that the halos worked before you did all this, bc you should always test them before you go through all the trouble of wiring and stuff. but as for my halos i just ran them to an independent switch and they work fine, grounded them to the bolts on the fram right next to the air intake.

Make sure your fog light switch is on.
