Best projector configuration
Ok, so I finally dished out the cash for the projector headlights, and I'm deciding how I want to wire them (halos,led's, on/off w/driving or low beams... etc) What looks the best? I want a clean look that isn't too gaudy, and I'd prefer to no have to mess with the wires more than I have to, so if anyone has a preference feel free (pics of your setup are welcome as well!!) Thanks!
halos to the running lights. top 3 on each connected to the turn signal

no well i have an 07 and it has the daytime running lamps. i guess it depends on what yr you have. i don't know how you would connect them to previous year harnesses. if i saw a pic i'm pretty sure id be able to figure it out.
I have the wires all figured out, I have the daytimers too but I'm just not sure if I wanna have it all on all the time, you know? but I think it kinda looks sick at night with em all on, although the turn signal isn't a bad idea either...
there's a how-to on connecting them. this is how i did it. if you wanna c some pics of how i connected them, i can get them later tonight cuz i'm not at my house. they are spliced to a brown wire i think. during the day the only lights on are the low watt headlight. at night headlights get brighter and all the lights come one. note: during the day the amber lights don't stay on. and the halos/leds wont flash when they blink either. there's two different wires connected to the amber light; one that keeps them on and another that flashes them.
i'l get pics up tonight but i won't be home until around 12
alright well here are the pics.

1) the three positive wires leading to the halos and led's
2)the positive wire spliced to the amber signals
3)the amber signal wire which actually leads from the amber signal to the small side signal bulb which would be in the reflector
4)the amber turn signal bulb
with only the ambers, halos and leds on (yea the leds on one of the halos burnt out)

the headlight on

no the led's in the halo burnt out. i'm thinking it might be the heat of the halogen bulb. also on the other headlight one led burnt out too but its only happening on the low beams. this is why i'm not gonna replace them until i get hids, they burn cooler.
again i just wanna note that i'm not sure if the wiring for the 06s are the same as 07s.

I don't believe the turnsignals would pass PA State Inspection in that configuraton. They absolutely have to be amber in color.
I ordered my projectors with HID on Friday but they haven't shipped yet or someone forgot to do an orign scan.
