If your having problems with the computer, you can also wire it thru the passenger door. Just feed it in between the fender cracks. It should have enough room to feed the wire. Just take time to tuck them in safely. Then on inside run them under passenger dash into center console. It's not the best way but it works. I've done it before.

Exactly where do I hook these up so that they will operate on the factory switch? I want the dims and brights to work on the factory switch and the halo to work on an aftermarket switch.

Just use the harness it comes with for the halos. As for the headlights and high beams, just splice into the factory wires to use the normal switch. It's how I set it up on the write up.

I'd rather not splice into any factory wires in case I go back to the factory lights. Is there any way you could post a pic of where you wired the high/low beams? If not thats fine

If u don't want to splice into the wires u could do what I did. I just took the factory harness where the bulb connects to the car and stuck thick enough wire in the holes. Once the wires are snug in the harness I just black taped them real tight. As long as the wires in the holes are snug it should make good contact for the lights to work. Works well for me. Haven't had any problems yet. I'll post pics soon.

*EDIT*:


As you can see the halo ring barely clears the bumper and the hood. In fact I have to close the hood with care, if I slam the hood down it will hit the halo rings. It's a real tight fit. Anything else bigger and you will have problems.




This picture might not show you much, but I didnt want to untape/retape anything right now. But as you can see the blue/black thing that plugs into the bulbs have light greenish/yellowish and black wires that lead into from the factor car switch. I stuck thick enough wire in the holes that the bulbs originally connect into. The hole with the greenish/yellowish wire behind it is positive. The hole with the black wire leading out is the ground/negative. You can also stick the wires in the holes then turn on the lights to test to make sure you have good contact before taping it up.




Hope this helps. Happy modding! =)

Oh so just stick the wires into the connector for the factory lights behind the light housing?

Oh and I decided with a different set of lights. These are almost the same size as the factory lights but still have the led ring around them that will light up in 7 different colors.

The set your talking about doesn't have the rings on the outline of the light. The 7 color bulb is below the lightbulb inside the housing. So the whole square lights up that color.

Awe well that's not cool at all .......... I'm glad you pointed that out to me. Uh... So I guess I'm stuck spending $70 a set in order to get the accent ring.
