Smile dual halo projector headlight question

Hey everyone, i'm in the process of an ls1 front end conversion and i want to get the dual projectors headlights. My question is how do the halo rims connect,do they wire to the parking lights or do the headlights have to be on while the halo rims are on? Kind of a lame question but i'm trying to find this out before i order them! Thanks in advance!!!

I wired my dual halo's in with the fog lights. I didn't want the halo's on all the time during the day thus decreasing the life of the halo's!

Not sure what vehicles this applies to but some f-bodies (earlier years I think) are wired so the parking lights are on only when it's close to dusk and newer years are on all the time.

i hard wired mine to the parking lights and they only come on either at night or when i turn on the parking lights. even if you hook them up to the fogs you still have to turn on the parking lights to turn on the fogs.
