Just one switch. I wired the two halos together. Then I grounded them out in the engine compartment, and ran a hot line into the car. Currently the wire goes through the doorjam underneath the gasket but I want to do it better later.

If you splice them into the headlight harness, then they will only be on when the headlights are on, and at that point you won't be able to see the halo.

55W Halogen, or an HID kit, vs a little LED... nope not that visible

Check cobrahunter's post, he's got the halos and you can see how the headlights easily drown out the halo.
