Default How 2 hook up halo/led light on projectors?

I bought some proj lights with hids in them from ebay. There is a red and a black wire. I'd think those are for the halos and leds. How do I hook these wires up? The hid part is easy. Any info would be great! Thanks.

Yeah the red and black wires are for the halo. The red is hot and the black is a ground. I just hooked mine into the maker lights. My buddy hooked his to his fog lights.

Hey dude, I don't have a camaro but maybe I can help ya out.

The red should be your power (+) wire, and the black, your ground (-)

The best options, like stated, would be either hooking them up to your marker lights or your fogs. Markers = your halo's would come on with your parking lamps.
Fogs = They'll come on with your fogs!

The easiest way to do this, is to run to your local auto store. Get yourself some quick splices. They look like this:


Insert your halo wire into the inside slot, and your power source (fog/marker power wire) and get yourself pliers, fold the flap over and squeeze the quick splice. Do the same for the other side, check that they work, and tape them up.
