Hey y'all,
I was hoping someone with experience on aftermarket lighting could help. I just bought new headlights and taillights (not HID) and was wondering if there's anything special I need to do besides just wire them into the existing wires?

These are the ones I got:

 

I would think if they are vehicle specific you should be able to just install them the same way as factory. At least that's been my experience on other vehicles. But others on here can give better answers, there's quite a few people with aftermarket lighting. I like the headlights BTW, where did you get them?

 

Thanks, I picked them up at Carid.

 

Taillights, I'm not sure. The headlights, if they are simply the halos, then all you have to do is figure out is how you want them to light up. Example, mine are connected to the parking lights with quick connectors. So whenever my parking lights are on, they are on. But you can connect them however you want. That's just what I did. They install the same way the factory ones do.

 

Thanks. I figured as much.

 

Whatever you do, don't hack up your wiring, best to do it right and use harnesses if available or plugs so you can undo what you did if necessary and go back to stock without chopping wires again.

 

I have the exact same headlights and taillights. Taillights connect just like OEM while the headlights connect normal as well except for halo portion. I would just do like DarlingReject said and connect them into the parking lights. thats how mine are ran but i have the HIDs hooked up to the lowbeams

 

Your car looks great. Where did you buy the headlights? How is the fit compared to stock. Asking cause I bought a set of stock replacements and the fitment was horrible!

 

Thanks everyone for the help. Especially DarlingReject, I took the exposed wires for the Halo ring and pushed them into the plug for the driving lights, then plugged the lights back in and ran a piece of electrical tape to ensure water resistance. No splicing, no exposed wires, everything looks "normal." Now all I have to do is get them re-aligned as I'm currently a bit cross eyed at night.

 

i had halos on another car of mine, but i ran them to there own special switch, so i didnt have to have the parking lights on. i liked it that way
