wire them to your parking lights with a switch between.. that way when the switch is on the halos will work with your parking lights.. otherwise you can flip the switch and they will be off..

Well its not on the lip of the rims anymore but the badges are all royal purple including the SS on wheel center caps, the headlights, dash and lug nuts are all the same also it just depends on what kind of light is shinning on it. Probably going to pull the IPCW tail lights apart soon and to the chrome on them purple too. Also waiting to put in the purple tow hooks but gotta figure out and easier method than taking bumpers off cause I don't want to do that and mess up alignment
