need help with wiring my gen 3's




Okay so my lights came with the little black box thing as you see in the picture and im pretty sure those little connectors that are circled red connect right into it. But, where do i connect the red and black wires that are on the black box, do i connect them to wire harness or just any power source? Also if you look at the left side of the pic there is a white and black wire circled yellow..where the hell do those go????

It's pretty simple. Wire the red and white wires you circled to the brown parking light wire, and the black ones to a black ground wire.

Wire those up to whatever you want to turn on the halos and LEDs. The black box is the CCFL inverter that powers the two CCFL rings, and the white and black wire power the three LEDs. Easy way to do it is to tap everything into the parking lights, by connecting the red and white wires to the brown wire on the headlight harness and connecting the black wires to a ground.

if your smart ass really wants to know...i got new headlights b/c a while back i painted the inside of my stockers black. Now they are fogging up b/c i didnt seal them good enough, they are cracking, and the inside reflector came off and is rattling around the inside of the headlight and i dont feel like taking the lights apart to put the reflector back in b.c the lenses look like **** and there is no point of leaving them on, so buying new headlights would make it look 10 times better
