Normally when you mess with any headlight assembly, you should get the lights realigned.

So, my question is if you wire the halos to be on when you turn the fogs on, aren't the headlights also usually on due to the sensor that turns them on automatically? I'm kinda confused here. Can you drive the car with the fogs and drl's on only, even at night or dusk? Or does the sensor automatically turn the headlights on?

You can run the foglights whenever you want, but you are right. At dusk the headlights turn on automatically. To prevent that we have ours disabled(headlights) and we have to manually turn them on.

To do that all you do is pop up the top part of the dash, unplug the "eye" and short it out by looping a wire from one side to the other. Neat little free mod if I say.

Thank you very much NufNuff! Did the auto headlight disable in five minutes, now I am gonna get me a set of those halo's! I mean, the passenger headlight is yellowed, and driver's side is brand new (for some reason?) so why not get a pair of halo's for almost the price of getting a new passenger stock headlight right!?

So, now i can turn my foglights on whenever i want, or do I have to at least have the headlight switch on parking lights to get the fogs turned on?

You must at least have your parking lights on.

So what would happen then if you wire the halos to the DRL's, they will basically come on with the DRL's right? Has anyone done this?

What does everyone think is the best way to wire the halos?

If wired to DRLs, they will also flash with your turn signals as well. Wire up to ignition wire if you want them on everytime you start your car...

Very good point! Haha, I wouldn't even have thought of that, would probably look pretty funny huh. Anyways, think I'll just have to wire them to a toggle switch. Does anybody have any suggestions for this? Want to keep a stock look, maybe add another stock fog light switch (but then where do i put it?)?
