Default Just Installed CCFL Halo Projector Headlights

just installed black halo headlights. i think they look really good and mean on my camaro. better then stock at least... but it was kind of difficult to put them on. really got to shove them in. theres a kinda small gap in the front of them. and also on the passenger side, the bigger halo takes longer to light up when my car isnt on compared to the other side. unless i turn on my car it lights up bright like the other....so kind of found that weird. i still got to mess around with the rubber on the headlights and tuck them under. only got day pics so ill take some tonight and post them up later. tell me what you think..?

The reason for this is that the halo's all wired up with the key on engine off draws to much voltage(not exactly sure on how much amperage). I went through this issue for awhile thinking that the light were defective untill I hooked my DVOM in and watched the voltage drop and rise with the engine running and not.

I wired my halo projectors in with the fog lights so that I had the option of off or on and without adding another switch.

+1 on getting HID's for the projectors. I have 8000K Mcculoch hid's and they look awesome!

They look good. Did you do any of these fixes to get the lights to fit?

This one is to give you the option of just lighting the halos and not the LEDs.
