what's involved in a halo install??? i've done a search on this and couldn't find anything that made me want to run out and buy these.
i like the way they look but if they are a pain in the *** to splice into the stock harnesses i don't want to bother. (i've heard that the cheap ones just have pigtails on the back that all need to be spliced in.)
where can i find a set that are direct plug-ins on the hi-beams and lo-beams (as in no cutting and splicing)??? i know obviously i'll have to tap something for power to the halos and that's not a big deal i just want as few wires to deal with as possible.
as for the halos, i would probably splice them into the fog lamps so i could flip on just the fogs and halos.
lastly, who makes the best quality lights??? i've seen em on ebay for around 140 a set? are these any good or should i look for more expensive ones from a different company??? (must be black by the way, no chrome)
any input is appreciated.

Remove old headlights.
Install halos.
4 wire taps to tap into the wires at the foglights.

So when exactly do these come on if you splice into the fog lights? Im trying to get an idea of when the halo's are actually on, and what these look like at all times. At night when the fog lights are on can you see the halo's?

You can see how it works in the in the pic...
You could easily wire them to their own switch, but I was lazy. I may eventually do it.
I paid $125 or $130.

if you really want them to come on all the time, you can either wire them to a 12V ignition switch source (so you can't leave them on) or wire them to the DRLs (my preference).
