Which wire on the halos did you tap into parking light? And is the relay necessary? I was just going to splice directly from harness to lights. Think that would be ok?

Do the halo's only come on when the parking lights are on? I don't exactly want the halo's but I was wondering if i didn't wire them up to anything and only plugged in the fog's will the halo's be on when the fogs are on? Or only if I specifically wire the halo's? Thanks for your help. Also, I assume the fogs on ebay don't come with the HID kit?

...For now, I have the halos wired directly into the parking light circuit. It's a very low current draw, so a relay isn't required. You could wire these to a switch, or just about any way you'd like. I took the harness that came with the lights and cut it to custom length, resoldered the connections, added heat shrink, and added the appropriate wire loom. This step wouldn't be necessary, I just wanted a near factory type of install....
Thanks!

As far as I can tell there is just one red wire that is specifically there to splice into the parking lights. Any chance you can take a photo of where you spliced it in? I'm not sure which wire, and just wanted to make sure i just needs to splice in once.
Thanks
Thanks

Hey, DJR, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I tied into the turn signal connector right behind the socket for the bulb. I accessed this connector fron the passenger side fenderwell. I didn't even have to remove anything. The wiring colors I used can be found in post #6 of this thread.
Did you get it figured out?
I still have to try to get some pictures of these at night.

P.S. - Ordered the projector headlights w/ 55W AC ballasts and 6000K bulbs (with LED halo rings) from HID projectors today!
