Retrofits installed!

Taped the halos into the DTRL wiring. When I kick the blinker on, the DTRL and the Halos blink like I wanted, but at different rates. Anyone have any idea how to get them to match up?

They look good, did you do them yourself? That's odd if you tapped into the DTRL that they would blink out of sync... Where exactly did you tap them? Are they blinking completely opposite to your headlight blinkers?

They were made my Ambiguous, and they are well worth the money!

Tapped them into to the DTRL wore just behind the plug into the actual bulb.

The halo is slightly faster. I believe it's because the DTRL isn't LED, and the Halos are, meaning the resistance is different. LED bulbs for the DTRL should match them up. The LED DTRLs usually blink faster, so maybe a resisted on the wiring before the splice point for the HALOS would slow them both down back to normal

Correct, LED's are more of an instant on light. I'd just swap to led turn signals. I believe if you add a resistor to the leds they'll be dimmer, not slower.

Resistor wired in series -> dimmer
Resistor wired in parallel -> slower flashing

Not sure why you'd have issues with them not being in sync. I'd try switching to LED turn signals - maybe it's the difference between the warm up times of the bulbs?

Thanks James. I always have to be doing something to it. I have already installed area lights and was planning on installing rock lights but I have decided on postponing wiring both until I have an aux fuse/relay panel.

BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

Sunniest, warmest day here in years. Just spent a tough 10 minutes changing original headlight bulbs over to GE Nighthawk bulbs. Well, back to more Obama Coffee; black and weak.

opted for the without version.
I didn't feel that I would use the hitch as much as I would the recovery points.
