Default RE: installing halos

three words: cut and splice

Just figure out which wire(s) on the parking lights is(are) positive and run the halos' positive wires to those. (Just run the negative wires to a ground)

Personally, I think it's better just to run the halo wires to a switch, especially given that in many places, halos are illegal (though when a cop pulled me over for neon underlights, he didn't notice that my halos were on, too). All you have to do is run the negative wires to a ground (I used the alternator ground since it's in the front of the engine bay anyway) and run the positive wires to a switch. From the switch, run a positive wire to a power source (fuse box, battery, etc.)

^+1 for wiring them to a switch instead of the parking lights... I made that mistake only once... they'll burn out... especially if they're cheap LED halos from ebay.
