Halo wiring?

Halo wiring? Well got my halos in yesterday, I adjusted the bracket all the way forward to get them in and back out and got them pretty close to aligned but I dont know how high my lights need to be or the best way to fine tune it. I plan on pulling them next weekend to wire up the halos. It sounds like the most common place to wire them to is the DRLs and I think that is the route Im gonnna go, but I have a poll up to see what is the best way.
Now I really need a wiring diagram or some advice on how to run these. Here are some pics, of what I have.
Three wires on the DRL-Blue Brown and Green
Two red wires on the halo

I wired mine to the fogs sine I have hid fogs. Just splice the red positive wires to the purple positive wire going into your fogs and ground on a fender bolt or something. Simple and already on a switch
Works for me because the only time want my halos on is when my fogs are on
I can post pics if u want. Its real simple

I had a red and a black wire on my halos. I guess they are different halos. Mine have the 2 halos and leds with h3 projectors.
Which ones do u have?
Did they come with a wiring diagram or anything? If one wire has black stripe that should be the ground. Wire it up but don't fully install and try it out. That's what. I did

I have the older halos with the just the one halo. I didnt recieve any wiring diagram or instructions and both wires are solid red like in the pic above. Maybe someone with exp with these will chime in. If not trial and error it is then lol

it doesnt matter which red wire goes where you can hook them forwards and backwards they work both ways. i had halos on mine before i traded for stock but thats how i hooked them up and they worked perfect.
and i would personally hook them to the fog lights or to a seperate switch because if you havent disabled your DRL's then there gonna be on all day long and you cant see them at all during the day so it would be a waste. thats how i wired mine.
and on a side not now that i think about it, you can hardly see them while they are on with the headlights on even if it is at night i would wire them to a seperate switch because that way right at dusk you can ride around with your fogs on and no headlights and flip the halos as well, trust me it looks kick ***
and that way they are not on during the day (when you cant see them) and they are not on with the headlights (because you can only see them close up.) hope this helps

Yeah they are little different since mine have leds .
Did some reading and apparently with those u can wire them up either way. So that's easy!
have fun!
Let me know if u have any other problems or questions.

thanks man thats good to know!

Wiring up a separate switch is much harder but not to bad . I just disabled my daytime running lights . So they only turn on when my headlights on
There is a writeup on how to disable them just search it.

On the passenger side of the engine bay, is where your PCM is at, theres a grommet behind it. Poke a hole in it with a coat hanger with the wire taped to it.
Your gonna wanna take the lower passenger side a pillar and the panel below the glove box out and fold back the carpet to find the hanger.

thats gonna be the easiest way to do it. and ya i disabled my drls also so that way at dusk i could just flip the fogs and ride til it got dark. now im starting to miss my halos for that exact reason......
