Step 3: Glue in place and wire positive to wherever you want them to turn on with. Ground to any ground.

check my sig.... just get 70mm halos in the color you want. they come with an inverter, sometimes 2 of them. if you get one inverter that is fine too. mine comae with one. i just spliced into the wires to extend them to reach each side. i wired mine to come on with the parking lights/ headlights. very easy to do!

you could always wire them to a separate switch and turn them on and off.

i bought mine from 3bspecialties, i think it was $20 for the pair. i dont remember exactly what color that they supplied. if you are looking for led halos, try looking on superbrightleds.com. they've got some decent ones on there and you can get them with a protective cover for external use like around our fog lights.

Do the rings look like a big eyesore during the day when turned off? They look good at night when all you can see is the glow

^^eh you can see the white ring, but its not an eyesore imo. its nothing obnoxious, just obvious i have halos. looking at maybe changin em to blue led halos since the driver side isnt working.. thinking it may be the converter.
