White is the ground.

Then from what I remember you tap into the purple wire on the fog light.

It's called reaching up into the dash and actually taking out the sensor. It's at the top next to the red blinking security light and twists out.

Did you reuse the stock headlight brackets? cause it will help with the gap. Even then some people still have a gap with reusing the stockers.

sure did, funny thing is that my left one went in very easy and fast and almost no gap. from far away they both look the same but obviously up close you can notice the gap on the right side....i hope i can find away to fix that.

Thumbs up

If you pull out your radio...looking into the area were the radio was.....there is a small box in the back on the upper right side. There are 2 plugs. Unplug the smaller one. That's all i did to disable my drls, and everything works fine. Although i did go ahead and wire the halos to there own switch so i could have them on whenever i want. Also gonna have them red soon. Should grab some attention at night at test and tunes

I got mine from XRTEAM and no problems with leaking. My gap is bigger on the passenger side than the driver's side and I used the stock brackets as well. Did you use wire taps to tap the halo wire to the fog wire? They made it very easy and I used the wire tap to short out the light sensor.

I don't think that they reply back to emails or they're extremely busy to. A member here made a seperate switch for the halos so that he could turn them on whenever he wanted. Do a search and you'll find it.
