Default How to wire up the halos?

Could some one describe how to wire up the halos in projector headlights so they come on properly? I would like to get this done tonight. Thanks

Could I ask you where you bought yours, man? I can't find them on the E-Bay site anymore. The Ebay store for that shop doesn't have them listed either.. Any idea? Also; your Halo lights should work when wired in to your parking lights.

Search K2motor on eBay. They shipped them out in one day and communicated very well. Thanks, I figured out how to wire them into the parking lights and they work. They look sick.

Remember the turn signal is that bulb in the inner part of the headlight. Tap into the red and black wires. The halo red wire to the turn signal red wire and the halo black wire to the turn signal black wire . A couple Halo pics on my Monte:

FWIW, I'm running these on a switch & relay setup so that I can have them on alone....I think they look better w.o the amber signal lights. I haven't finished all of the wiring, but that's the plan. Also, once I get the problem with my dim halo remedied, I'll be switching the LEDs on the side to turn signals.

The amber lights on the corner do work as turn signals but only LEDS right ? or are they just lit up and serve no signal purpose ?

The turn signal is in the bottom corner, the LEDs do not blink, they are side marker lights.

Yeah, they are only sidemarkers. I've devised a plan to make them alternate blinkers (LEDs off when the signal is ON), but might just make it a basic blinker and lose the sidemarker function. The main turn signal is enough "sidemarker" for me.

As I mentioned, though...the new halos are coming with white LEDs, so if it's determined that my problem is not the ballast, sabresport will need to replace both lights to get them to match. If that's the case, I might just have to leave the white LED sidemarkers alone....those might draw attention if they're blinking with the wrong color.

Yeah, they finally came out with LED tails for the Imp, but they don't look nearly as good/cool as the GP's. One would only get them to say that they have LED tails, b/c they wouldn't be noticed by anyone NOT looking for them.

From what I've seen of the proposed Monte LED tails, they look like they belong on a 90's civic, instead.
