Possible Wiring Problem, Left turn signal sticks...?
Just finished install of Halo's and Clear turn signals. The right side works perfectly, set it up so that the actual "halo" of the headlight comes on under the "running light" setting (first click over on the headlight switch)... by splicing it in with the blue wires of the turn signal, But for whatever reason, after rewiring everything, the right side works perfectly.... But the left side sticks, (the inside turn indicator light is stuck [not clicking on and off] and the rear turn blinker just stays lit, while the front turn signal doesnt come on at all.... also when my car is running, and the headlights are completely off (when it would be just the clear corners lit, only the right one is lit)..... everything was working before i bolted the lights back in... and im pretty sure my connections were good enough not to have popped off after a few minutes of driving....... any ideas what has gone wrong...?

the fact that the front DRL didn't come on shoulda been your first clue

Out of curiosity, you said you wired your halos to the blue wire? Because the blue wire is your actual blinker wire. If you wired your halos to the blue one then your halos should only activate when your blinker does - making your halo blink with your blinker
You should wire it to the brown one
You should wire it to the brown one

So it was the bulb?
I just got through changin my driverside DRL bulb for the 2nd time this weekend. The 2nd time I was sure to clean the socket and put on a liberal amount of dielectric grease.
I can't stand driving around with 1 DRL!
