Looks really good. I like it much better than clear (and I like the clear). It's kind of understated .

If you haven't already, I suggest wiring the Halos to a switch. I picked up an extra fog light switch and hooked mine up to it and works perfectly!

Also, on a side note, what was the members name from eBay where you picked up the corners?

John,

No worries about the corners, I picked some up from 4caroption.com for $31 shipped.

As for the halos to a fog switch, if you already have a fog switch, simply get another one and use wire taps to tap into the same wires on your current switch, except the YELLOW and BROWN. You need to hook up the power wires from the halos to the YELLOW, and a switched source to the BROWN (or you can simply splice into the brown from the current fog switch, but then halos will only come on like the fog lights, when the headlight switch is in the ON position). Really simple, quick and clean install! Here's the info for the wiring of the fog switch harness in case you need it...

A - Light Green - ground for the ON indicator lamp
B - Black - ground for the switch illumination
C - Gray - power from the headlights for switch illumination
D - not used
E - Brown - power input for the fog lights (connect this to ignition source for your accessory)
F - Yellow - power output for the fog lights (connect this to a relay or to your accessory if it doesn't draw much power

There is a small LED that lights up the ring. Not very bright during day, but easily noticeable at night

Heres mine...

Two fog switches...first one is for halos, second one is for fogs. Then the ASR switch, then a dummy switch (does nothing, basically blank).

Very easy to wire up...
