FSB BOSS · 12-05-2012, 03:22 PM

Hey guys ordered some new headlights. There are 2 wires that I think are just for the halo. What would I Wire the positive in to turn on with other lights

Bronco85 · 12-05-2012, 04:25 PM

Wire them into your current headlight wires.

What just cut into the red and black wired on the harness

Bronco85 · 12-06-2012, 11:21 AM

I don't know which ones they are. Got a meter?

If the halo lights are led's you should be able to tap the positive lead into a key-on hot wire and ground them to the low beam wire. The halos would go out when the headlights are on.

FSB BOSS · 12-06-2012, 04:51 PM

i mean what could i tap into to where it would come on whenever the truck is running. sorry, eletrical is not my area of expertise.

FSB BOSS · 12-06-2012, 08:32 PM

Never mind ran it into the market lights

Not as bright as I wanted the halo to be.

Steve83 · 12-07-2012, 12:17 PM

Parking light circuit (Br) is correct for halos.

**mickaila** · 12-07-2012, 12:39 PM

are these legal?

Steve83 · 12-07-2012, 02:07 PM

I don't see a DOT number in that lens, but I doubt he'll ever get pulled over for them.

riccnick · 12-07-2012, 02:51 PM

Something looks off...

Not a ton of light for that halo...

sscobra · 12-07-2012, 04:52 PM

How is the light output?

**AbandonedBronco** · 12-07-2012, 05:03 PM

If they're anything like the replacements I put on my Bronco, which they look like, they have a replaceable regular bulb, and then a small blue LED. The LED is what takes the extra wiring.

It looks like in the picture, just the LED is on, and the headlights are off.

Steve83 · 12-24-2012, 12:45 AM

PURPLE??? Why?

4300K put out MUCH more visible light.

^This.

Also, depending on what wattage ( 55W or 35W ) the light output and color may change. I believe pure white for 35W is 4300K like Steve said, and about 6000K is pure white for the 55W. Anytime you add color, you lose usable light. You'd be better off with a candle than 12,000k HIDs

well got the new lights in, they are mor of a light blue due to the ballast that came with aren't cutting it. but they are bright i just need to align them, but hard to do when the prev owner stripped out the bolts anyone know whre i can get a replacement kit
