Pics of Fog Light Halo's on T/A's?

Pics of Fog Light Halo's on T/A's? One of my fog lights blew so I decided to upgrade to ones that actually give me better visibility. I ended up getting some Navigator NV-362W's. Wired the first one up and it's much brighter but the lights also come with a built in LED Halo ring that's wired separately. To hook it up I have to run the wires from the lights, through the firewall and where I have to hook up the switch. This means taking out the PCM to get to the grommet, taking out my center console to wire the switch and a lot more work than just installing my lights (which use existing wiring) without the Halo's hooked up. Does anyone have pics of these lights hooked up or for that matter anyone with halos in their fogs? Couldn't find any online.

That might work, but the led's are multi color. So press the button once to go from off to blue, then again for red, then again for white and keep going until it goes off again. If I could just set it to a color then hook it up to the DRL's that'd be great.

in the Lighting FAQ there are pics of those lights in both working and non-working halo form, but there on the firebird/formula bumper not the T/A bumper.
I plan to get them for my car within the next few months, myself.

Wow didn't know they're so rare 
Anyway, so I decided to go ahead and wire it. Hooking up just the fogs took a couple hours (had to cut and drill original mounts). Then an additional 5 hours to wire the led halo's
Of course the wiring they gave me was too short, so I had to cut it, get some additional 20 gauge wire, crimp the ends, take out my console, hook up the switch and put everything back. Here are the results.
New fog lights installed:
LED Halo's:
Camera doesn't really capture the halos very well. Colors are much deeper and cleaner. I'm very pleased. They're also on a completely different circuit than the headlights so I can turn them on whenever I want

I did mine little different than above. I didn't like the quality of the aftermarket fogs / halo combos so I opted for ccfl rings instead. Here on tech there is a bad *** car owned by vikingramair that had a nice halo setup so I got some info and liked his method better.
I spent weeks trying to find the nicest ones and finally found a place on ebay. These are ccfl's that each come with their own inverter, but you can use one if you wish since they have the ability to connect 2 rings to one inverter. Measure the outside diameter of the stock fogs and chose that size so it was as big as possible. These are not the cheap bendable ones. They have the highest output I could find. They are actually attached to the outside of the fog light with industrial double sided tape cut perfectly so you never see the tape. It has been through many power washings and hand washings and never a problem. Connections are soldered and shrink tubed and the inverter is hidden in the radiator support. Power from the battery, fused and connected to a switch under the dash. So I can just drive with Halos on only. They have many colors but I had to go with white because cops will ticket you around here for any color other than white. They are crazy bright at night, there is actually light output for about 3 feet in front of my car from just the rings. You can't even tell they are on the outside of the fogs. Always get compliments.
Pics suck and I don't have any night ones. These were pics inside my trailer last winter hooked up to a battery that was on the floor almost dead just for testing them. They are way brighter than shown. I hope to some day swap over to a Formula bumper which I think looks better with halso since it spreads them apart farther.

How did you wire it up? I want to do this but want them wired to where I can turn them on whenever I want and not have to have them wired to the fogs or drls, I want them on a separate switch.

Those look great, but I think they would look even better if it was a complete ring and not split at the top.

Haha thanks for the point out, just getting ready to do that myself. As for the split in the halo ring, it doesn't even matter. You cannot see it driving or walking by it. Only visible if you are laying on the ground. If I ever come across a set a Beemer headlights with halos at a junk yard for cheap I will upgrade to those only of they are the bright white like the newer models instead of the older yellowish white color that they used to be.
