Wiring Headlamp Halos

with my original HID setup, I didn't have to splice, the side markers (the smaller bulb) had a small gap or hole I was able to push wire through and tap into the positives and negatives there without cutting /modifying a single thing. It worked in my case, but I have since shattered on of them and decided to just use my stockers since I had issues with lack of heat generation and wet snow.

Splicing in is the easiest way. I spliced into mine with pigtail connectors so they can be unplugged to remove the headlight. That way I dont have to cut any wires if the headlight has to come out. just unplug the connector and its done.

I wanted to run my halos as Daytime Running Lights, so I wired them to fuse location 79 (Rain Sensor) in the engine compartment fuse box. I used an Add-a-Fuse to get power and wired my ground to a self-tapping screw on some metal cross member. It's clean and works great, so now my halo's come on anytime the truck is on (or the key is in accessory mode).

That's not a bad idea ... did you use add a fuse or was it add a circuit?

I did as previous poster recommended and put these on Junction Box 79 so they are always on when the truck is on like DRLs.
