hooking them up to the white/green there only on with the high beams.. so im stumped on how to get it to work as long as the lights are on, it would look sweet if you could have them come on even with the parking lights so it would be just the 2 orange markers and the halos and other leds on with no light on the main bulbs, youd really be able to see the "angel eye"s.. so if anyones got any input?

as for the aim, out of the box there not to bad at all, its a pretty solid an level line up top but down low i have a black space just under the lights and the left side is a little bit farther out, decent enough for a few days till i can go out to a field at night and play with them a bit, ganna try and find some tips or how-tos on aiming your lights and see what happens.

and with only running them for 30 min maybe a bit longer quiet a bit of condensation built up at the bottom by the 5 little LEDs on the bottom and u can feel the heat the give off its definatly warm

but anyways heres the pics i love it makes a huge diffrence even makes the ****y chrome grill look better haha, but ya they look awesome at night im super stoked
The condensation will go away after a couple weeks mine had condensation too. For the halos I wired them into the running lights so they would be on anytime the lights are on. In the harness going to the blinkers/running lights there should be a white wire with a red stripe. That will be the power wire for running lights. That is the wire that I tapped into for mine. you can use any black wire for the ground I used the one for the blinkers/running lights.
