Default Halo's installed, now confused

I just installed the black halo's on my Z-28 and they look awesome, I'm debating on whether to run the LED light thing on a toggle switch inside the car instead on hacking the wiring harness to get them on. opinions? Those lights were a bitch to install BTW but I managed to get them in and lined up without breaking anything. I'll post pics soon, thanks

i just wired mine into my drls.... not difficult at all... just 2 wires (on each side).. you dont have to hack into the wiring harness... just splice a few inches before the drl bulbs

Just splice it to the fog wires. If you don't like having them on all the time, fog light switch is your friend. Plus, it looks cooler w/ halos on w/o the headlights on.

My car has a switch in the dash, you turn your headlight switch to run the parking lamps and flip on the fog lights.

I would've just pulled the turn bulb socket apart and traced for a DRL hotwire, then backprobed the new wires into there. No splicing required, and its removable with no wiring scars. Only comes on when the parking lights or headlights come on too.
