I'm not a fan of chrome halo's except in 2 situations...
On a silver car, I think they look really good, or if there is a chrome or silver theme on the car... like silver in the paint job, chrome wheels, letters, emblems, etc.

I wired my halos up to my parking lights so they come on when I turn those on, but not with just the DRLs. Looks kind of cool when you set the alarm and the lights flash with the halos.
Thanks for the reply man....

So, if I do wire them into the parking lights, they still do come on when the headlights are on obviously but not during the day when the DRL's come on? Is it tricky to find the right wire? If I remember right, if I leave my foglight switch on, and I set the alarm, the halos should come on too if I were to wire them into the foglights, right? Can you give me a quick description of how you found the right wire to splice in to? I am assuming only the positive wire gets spliced into either the parking or fog lights, and the other one is just a ground that I can attach into that groundind screw next to the airbox, right?

go to the fog light or drl bulb the wires coming out of teh connector just slpice in to that.

when ever the light you spliced in to is on the halos would be on.

Same here, so now the fogs/halos are on a switch and then I killed my Automatic headlights so I can turn the headlights off at night in case you wanna actually see the halos on by themselves.
