Hello! I have a fairly simple question that I can’t seem to find a direct answer to, so here I am. I bought halo headlights for my car, they are (mostly) plug&play aside from the coolest part, the halo lights… I’ve watched numerous videos of different methods of installing them, some needing extra …

While I DETEST that you are installing these abominations on to your car… Why? See below. I will tell you to look to the wire gauge ON the parts, and make use a larger size. Maybe just use 18 ga and be done with it. Smaller buys you NOthing but potential grief if it is too small for the current dra…

I would never consider using those quick-splice blue connectors. If you want it to last, slice in the correct gauge wire, solder the splice, cover with shrink wrap. Did these lights not come with installation instructions?

[16713956160201095553581302109176] this is the only instruction for the LEDs. The smaller wires a 24awg, those are the halos. Theres another set of wires I’m assuming is 22-20awg that connect to another pair of lights. Like I said this stuff is cryptic for no reason, even with all the DIY video…

Booch.nail ( has to be a story behind that weird screen name ) you should read Mr. Mustang’s post twice . He is an automotive engineer who knows what he is talking about . Also this Forum gets many posts from people who have made lighting changes to their vehicles and have had problems of all sor…

First of all, thank you for the indepth reply. Second, thank you for indirectly answering another question I was going to ask about using different gauge wiring, I only have 18 - 14awg and 24 gauge wasn’t at home depot or autozone. As far as the choice of the LED lights, the OEM ones were clouded …

+1–on all points–to the comments of both Mustangman and Volvo-V70. I’ve lost count of the number of posts we’ve had over the past few years from people who tried to install aftermarket LEDs–in vehicles that were not designed for that type of lighting–and who had major issues. There were definitely…

The instructions are straight forward; black wire is ground, white wire connects to parking lights. [image] booch.nail: My question is, do I REALLY need extra wiring? Select the location where you want to make the splice, do the supplied wires reach? If not, you need to add wire. 24-gauge wi…

If you don’t know how, aren’t equipped, or just don’t want to bother w/ soldering , suggest to use the standard crimp method. Inexpensive, easy for diy’er to do, and makes for a much more robust connection resistant to vibration than the other type. As long as there is room and wires are flexible…

I had gotten a F-150 from a friend. his son got a new truck. his son put in headlights very similar to these that he paid a lot for. well, they worked, they did not work, or half the light would work. I got so frustrated with them that I ripped them out. I went to rockauto and bought new OEM headlig…

You left out that they are, sometimes, just plain ugly. Have seen a few Jeeps with halos added, just not attractive at all. One of the Saturday morning car shows hosts replaced the sealed beam lights on a 48 Olds with halos and LEDs, had to modify the headlight buckets to fit them. Result was ugl…

It’s easy to tell when a Rivian truck is approaching you, due to the shape of the headlight halos.
