well i would recomend running them to a switch..inside the cabin

i would then connect the switch to a power source such as in the fuse box.. just jam the power wire inbetween one of the fuses

then connect the ground wire to the bolt that is right next to the fuse box (near driver foot well) run it all to switches you know the drilll

theres been a thread about this lately - i'll post it later. but i remeber them saying they connected it to the side marker. Why not connect them to ur fogs? that'll make a nice switch. I have a shop puttin them in for me, i'll let u know the verdict

well im just saying.. if you wire them to a switch you can turn them on without having ANY other lights on.. like no sidemarkers or anything. but if you wire them to the sidemarkers they will only turn on if you turn the parking lights on.. see my point

twine the two red wires together, then twine the two white wires together. Now get splicers from auto zone. Splice the red wires into the green wire of the parking light. Then splice the white wires into the white wire of the parking light. When you turn on your parking lights the halos should light. good luck.

The parking light is the little one at the top of the headlight. Red wires go to the green and white goes to the white.

Nooooooooo don't cut the wires in half!!!!! If you use the splicer it will cut thru just the rubber cover on the wire and make contact.

man, i really recommend NOT doing this yourself, just like maxpol said. if this is your first venture into electrical work, you can seriously mess something up.

but if you must...when you see a splicer, you will understand. it will dig into the wires so that your halo wires connect to the existing wires INSIDE the insulation.
