if they're anything like the black halos (with the "angel ring" in the middle), then u can either hook the red/white wires up to ur turn signals *or* the the fog lights. either way u go, the angels will light up when the respective lights come on.
but, maybe im wrong. maybe the angel lights arent the same as the halos i got...

i just wired mine up to an independent switch, just ground the white wires to the bolts next to the air box on the frame and run the red wires to a switch and then run the switch to a power source and you can turn them on whenever you want.

Made mine look like stock. Things I needed:
Stock Fog Light Switch w/ wire harness
12 Gauge wire
Blank Switch plate
Ran the powers from both halos to one wire, then into the cab and up the center console to where the stock Fog Light and TCS switches reside. Popped off the Camaro emblem that was hiding two empty switch holes. Popped in the blank plate, and started the wiring for my "extra" fog light switch. I wired ALL of the wires into the stock fog light switch except for the Yellow wire. I hooked the Halo power wire to this yellow wire. Don't forget to ground both halos! So, this allows me to have control over the halos and stock fog lights independently of each other. The only caveat is that I have to have the headlight switch on. The only way around this, is to not tap the brown wire of the new switch to the stock switch, instead to a switched +12v source. I was just lazy.
Here's the dash, sorry for the blur, but you get the idea. I'm pretty positive that those were the correct colored wires, but let me know if you want them for sure, and I will quickly check for you!

I have mine wired to my running lights, not the signal lights! That way when the running lights are on, the halos are on. If you hook them up to the signal lights, they will blink with the signal lights. And all you need to do is snip the running light wire, you don't need any other wires, there will be enough on the new lights.

thanks for all the input. i ended up running them to the fog lights. now i am in the middle of disabling the daytime running light sensor so i can run just the halos and fog lights in low-light conditions.

Hey, Guys. I am new to the site, but I just purchased the angel eye, halo headlights, and I enjoy seeing other's car pics. That looks really clean how one of you guys kept the stock look by adding the switch plate...Well, when I recieve my lights I'll post some pictures on here...any pointers or tips would be appreciated. -Jesse

not for ur halos, but, if u ever get the corners, SEAL THEM!! i cant stress enuf how stupid i feel for not sealing mine, an i'll probably keep posting this to everyone who asks about their corners.
the only thing is that some people have had probs with their halos not aligning properly as their stocks did (apparently a bigger gap). not sure if its just the company i bought them from or wut, but mine fit just like the stockers. but hey, im sure if u have probs an u post up some pics, do a lil research usin the "search" option, we can come to a conclusion on how to fix ya up.
either way, congrats on ur new purchase an hope everything works out fine! take it easy dude

I tapped into the running light wire using clip on connectors so no cutting was involved, been a year and still work great. With the clear corners I gave up on them, I put a set of diamond clear corners on and first time to the wash they fogged, so took them off, sealed them. All seemed ok for about a month, then one filled with water. So was replacing the bulb and noticed the plastic was melted where the bulb plugs in, so I took them back out and put some carbon fiber covers over the stock ones and satisfied now. There are a lot of brands of clear corners out there and is touch and go, either people have tons of problems or they are perfect. I would suggest if anyone lives in the lower states that see sun more than rain they would be great, otherwise I wouldn't get em again.

u seal the corner where the light socket mates up with the actual plastic housing - put a bead of rtv silicone around the connector, maybe some rtv on the mating surface of the plastic, then connect the two pieces, then run a bead around the crack/crevice to seal the actual connection, just for re-assurance.
